Chaos in Parliament after speaker rejects debate on Petronas asset seizures

Chaos broke out in the Dewan Rakyat today after a motion to debate the seizure of Petronas assets by the purported heirs of the Sulu sultanate was rejected.Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun, in blocking the debate, cited subjudice rules which prevent the Lower House from debating matters in court.MPs including Ramkarpal Singh (Pakatan Harapan-Bukit Gelugor) accused Azhar of conflict of interest, as the latter's brother Idrus Harun is involved in the Petronas matter in his capacity as attorney-general.
