OPPOSITION WALKOUT OF DEWAN RAKYAT OVER DNA BILL

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- All opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) walked out of the Dewan Rakyat sitting because they were not satisfied that the government did not entertain their call to refer the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Identification Bill 2008 to the Select Committee.

The proposal was made by R. Sivarasa (PKR-Subang) after the opposition claimed that there were many weaknesses and ambiguity in the bill tabled by the government on Tuesday.

It was also said that the bill was deliberately tabled by the government in a rush to victimise a particular individual.

It was the third time that the opposition MPs had walked out of the house since Parliament held its sitting after the March general election. – BERNAMA
