Dewan Rakyat: It looks like nothing has changed between two foes - NST

POLITICAL maverick Datuk Paduka Ibrahim Ali (Ind-Pasir Mas) and Karpal Singh (DAP-Bukit Gelugor) renewed their mutual dislike of each other.

While Karpal chose to be political in his salvo, Ibrahim got personal and left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

The two took swipes at each other, when Karpal demanded to know the status of the former deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Department.

"He contested under the Pas ticket in the recent elections. How come he sits here as an Independent?" he asked.

Ibrahim shot back and asked Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia why the wheelchair-bound Karpal was allowed to ask questions sitting instead of standing.

Ibrahim Ali's remarks did not go down well with Pakatan Rakyat MPs.

Fong Po Kuan (DAP-Batu Gajah) called on the chair to make Ibrahim retract his unparliamentary language.
