(Facebook pic)PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan has refused to retract remarks containing the word “munafik”, or hypocrite, made in the Dewan Rakyat.
The Kota Bharu MP said he has instead written to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Johari Abdul, asking for the matter to be resolved through mediation, Sinar Harian reported.
"During mediation, the speaker can call Jelutong MP RSN Rayer and I to discuss the matter and try to resolve it amicably," he was quoted as saying.
If Johari rejects his appeal for mediation, Takiyuddin admitted that he could be referred to Parliament's rights and privileges committee.
