Malaysian Sultan slams MPs’ ‘disgraceful’ conduct in Parliament
The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, has spoken out against the rowdy conduct of some Members of Parliament (MPs). In a strong rebuke, he called their behavior a 'disgrace' and warned it could erode public trust in the institution. The Sultan’s remarks follow a series of disruptions in Parliament this year. Last month, two MPs were expelled after a heated verbal clash. Despite repeated warnings, he noted that many lawmakers have failed to improve their conduct. The Sultan’s criticism highlights ongoing issues with parliamentary behavior. With multiple incidents of disorder reported this year, his call for reform puts pressure on MPs to change their behavior. The Dewan Rakyat now faces growing scrutiny over its ability to maintain professional standards.
