Johor state assemblymen have been reminded that they must observe etiquette and rules during the state assembly proceedings.
The Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar, in stressing the importance of acting with decorum during sittings, said every assemblyman should listen to the opinions of others.
They should not reject such views just because they were not in line with an assemblyman’s political beliefs or interests, he said.
“I do not want this ‘dewan’ (the Johore state assembly) to be a ‘circus’.
“I hope the speaker will carry out his duties effectively to ensure the proceedings are orderly and conform to rules.
“If there are members of the house who violate rules, then instruct them to leave,” he said during the opening of the 14th Johor state assembly at the Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim here today.
