Kit Siang ejected from Dewan Rakyat for calling UMNO ‘power crazy’

UALA LUMPUR: DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang was ejected from the Dewan Rakyat by Deputy speaker Ronald Kiandee at about 10.50am for refusing to retract his accusation that Umno was ‘gila kuasa’ or ‘power crazy’ while debating amendments to the Human Rights Commission Bill.

Kiandee ordered Lim to retract his statement but he refused. Lim will not be allowed into the Dewan till 1pm today.

Preceeding that, a screamfest ensued between Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Rakyat (PR) lawmakers over Lim’s words.

Ronald also ordered Kinabatangan member of parliament, Bung Mokhtar Radin, to retract his insults which he did after Lim was ejected.
