'Kg Buah Dada': Gobala told to leave Dewan Rakyat
Former PKR MP N Gobalakrishnan (Independent-Padang Serai) was asked to leave the Dewan Rakyat this morning by deputy speaker Wan Junaidi Wan Jaafar after raising a ruckus in the House today when he refused repeated orders by the deputy speaker to stand down.
A shouting match had broken out after Gobalakrishnan interrupted Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugor) who was seeking clarification from Wan Junaidi over the rejection in chambers of his motion to censure Khairy Jamaluddin (BN-Rembau).
In his letter to Karpal rejecting motion, the speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia said that the subject matter of the proposed motion was the focal point of an ongoing police investigation following a police report - hence it was not an urget matter requiring the intervention of the House.
Nevertheless, Karpal argued that the matter should be up discussed within the Dewan as it touched upon the conduct of one its members and the dignity of the legislative body.
Karpal's motion was to discuss Khairy's tweet (the tweet mockingly stated the demolition of the Kampung Buah Pala village in Penang may have been to make way for ‘Kampung Buah Dada’) poking fun at allegations of sexual misconduct by the son of Penang Chief Minister and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng.
Attacking Karpal (right) for bringing up the issue, Gobala stood up, berated Karpal and the DAP leadership and thundered, saying, "It does not matter if it is 'Kampung Buah Pala' or 'Kampung Buah Dada', as it is the fate of the people making up the traditional Indian village that is the issue of concern."
Soon after his ejection, Gobala spoke to reporters in a press conference and said DAP seems to be concerned more with arguing over the choice of words than the fate of the villagers they had vowed to protect.
