Kota Bharu Member of Parliament Takiyuddin Hassan has refused to retract statements he made in the Dewan Rakyat, instead requesting Speaker intervention to resolve the ongoing dispute with DAP's RSN Rayer.
The Gua Musang MP's decision to maintain his position marks an escalation in the parliamentary disagreement between the two lawmakers. Rather than withdrawing his remarks, Takiyuddin has appealed to the Speaker to facilitate dialogue and mediation between the parties involved.
The move reflects ongoing tensions within Parliament, where debates between government-aligned and opposition members have occasionally resulted in disputes over language and conduct. The request for Speaker mediation suggests Takiyuddin hopes a neutral third party can help resolve the matter without requiring him to retract his statements.
Speaker intervention in parliamentary disputes is a standard procedural mechanism available to lawmakers seeking to address disagreements that arise during legislative sessions. The outcome of any mediation process will likely depend on further discussion between the involved parties and the Speaker's office.
