Ibrahim Ali did not stand up and talked on his phone during 1 minute silence for the late Chong

Share
Datuk Ibrahim Ali, the independent Pasir Mas Member of Parliament got himself into the limelight in the parliament yesterday after he ‘showed disrespect’ when the House stood in a one-minute silence respect for the late Datuk Edmund Chong Ket Wah, who is the Batu Sapi MP who died in a motorcycle accident last week. MPs from the opposition front slammed Ibrahim for disrespectful after he did not stand up when everyone else did and continued talking on his mobile phone.

Datuk Khalid Samad from PAS said “The Perkasa president was being disrespectful and "deliberately provocative", and warned that the opposition bench may move a motion to reprimand Ibrahim. Maybe we will move a motion. I think we should... this is his attitude, encouraging Malays to disrespect non-Malays. A fellow MP has died and it is just one minute of mourning as a show of respect, but he continued to sit and talk loudly over the phone, apparently to show his spirit as a Malay champion. It was clear to all the MPs that Ibrahim was on the phone, as only his voice was heard while everyone else was honouring the minute's silence. He said at the end he stood up, but that was only the last part, one or two seconds. How important is this phone call? We all have handsets. I personally turned around to see him sitting down and talking... he didn't stand up when he should have,"

Meanwhile the PKR MP of Sungai Petani, Johari Abdul said “Not only was Ibrahim disrespectful to Chong, who died in a motorcycle accident on Saturday, but the independent MP also did not heed the speaker's orders and went against House rules which prohibits the use of handphones. This shows he does not respect the speaker and our late colleague. Even if he is an Muslim and a Malay, it is our values as Malaysians to respect each other. He must remember, as Perkasa president his actions show as if he does not respect anyone who is not Malay and Muslim,"

This was echoed by Dr Hatta Ramli, the PAS MP of Kuala Krai who said “We want to distance ourselves from his behaviour, which clearly does not reflect the values and mannerisms of Malay culture... we do not want to be related in any way to the culture brough about by Ibrahim Ali (left) and Perkasa,"

To this, Ibrahim Ali defended his actions saying that "I stood up. I was a bit late. Not even one second (late). To say I didn't stand up to show respect is a big lie." Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong, the Deputy Education Minister added that "I'm disappointed with the controversial MP, neither from BN or Pakatan, who kept talking on the phone when the house was showing respect to the deceased MP. An MP must show respect to his deceased colleague without looking at one's skin colour,"
