Legislative Assembly (AL) President Ho Iat Seng said yesterday that the legislature’s House Rules Committee will study what kinds of remarks made by lawmakers during plenary sessions would constitute insults to the legislature.
Ho spoke to reporters during a briefing session with the media about the legislature’s work in the first year of the current legislative term, which ended on August 15. The legislature has its summer recess between the middle of August and the middle of October. The current four-year term, which started on October 16 of last year, will end on August 15, 2021.
Ho made the remarks in reply to the media’s questions concerning a verbal clash between directly-elected non-establishment lawmaker Sulu Sou Ka Hou and indirectly-elected lawmaker-cum-lawyer Vong Hin Fai that occurred at the beginning of a plenary session in the middle of last month when lawmakers have the chance to address the legislature on issues they would like to raise.
