“You wish to spoil our image. We have won the election most of the time, most wanita (women) support us, ” he or she added.

“Some of you might have bad mouth. I don’t want to take brands. They (like to) stoke flames, start and challenge myself and the Speaker, ” he said.
RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) asked Deputy Loudspeaker Datuk Rashid Hasnon whether he would keep allow Tajuddin to go on with his behaviour.
“Are you not daring enough to send him out? ” he or she asked.
Even after the microphone has been turned off, Tajuddin was heard shouting.
Several Opposition MPs said his activities were inappropriate plus disrespectful as the Intimate Harassment Bill was being debated.
