Key points
- Citing the word ‘munafik’ (hypocrite) as an example, Johari said the term could affect individuals differently, and MPs should therefore consider the sensitivities of all parties before using it.
- He said MPs should use words that were easily understood and avoid controversial terms to ensure debates remained focused on issues affecting the people, rather than becoming prolonged disputes over the use of particular expressions.
- Johari said debates over words that not everyone understood could also drag on without resolution, wasting time that should instead be spent discussing the people’s concerns.
