KUALA LUMPUR: Opposition lawmakers staged a walkout after one of their Members of Parliament was ejected for labelling Malaysian Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng a"pondan" on Tuesday in Parliament.
Lim rejected the claim, explaining that the open tender system was not open to all contractors and allows only the best among the Bumiputera contractors to be selected.However, as Lim was winding up the debate, he was interrupted by Ahmad Marzuk, who insisted on providing Lim with evidence that Bumiputera contracts were being handed out to all races.
"Therefore, the right word to use here is 'tak jantan' … When a minister does not want to give an explanation, this means that he is afraid.
