Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim was called out in the Dewan Rakyat after being spotted taking selfies during a parliamentary debate.
The incident took place while Bukit Gantang MP Datuk Syed Abu Hussin was speaking on the 13th Malaysia Plan. Deputy Speaker Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor abruptly paused the debate to address Shahidanās actions.
If you want to take selfies, please do it outside,ā Ramli said, adding that such behaviour was inappropriate inside Dewan Rakyat.
He reminded MPs to follow Rule 41 of the Standing Orders, which requires them to remain quiet and avoid disruptive conduct during proceedings.
Syed Abu Hussin later joked that Shahidan often found ways to interrupt him whenever he spoke in Parliament.
Rule 41 also states that MPs should behave respectfully when entering or leaving the chamber, and avoid reading unrelated materials during sessions.
Separately, Hulu Langat MP Mohd Sany Hamzan was also given a verbal warning for not following Rule 35(1) when attempting to speak.
Ramli told him to sit down and warned that a repeat offence would result in a five-day suspension.
