Speaker Mohammad Zahir Abdul Khalid today reprimanded Hulu Kinta assemblyperson Muhamad Arafat Varisai Mahamad for bringing a whole piece of raw chicken to the Perak State Assembly sitting yesterday.

He also asked security personnel to carry out a more rigorous inspection on items, including bags and packages brought into the state assembly hall.

“I would like to stress that what happened during yesterday’s debate session should not be repeated.

“I hope that no one would want to bring goats or cows to today’s sitting,” he joked, before continuing the sitting which enters its fourth day today.
