Debates on Budget 2024 in the Dewan Rakyat today were interrupted by a lengthy shouting match between lawmakers across the aisle over allegations of DAP man Howard Lee’s (Ipoh Timur-PH) “misinterpretation” of Quranic verses that were done “to punish the opposition.”
In a Facebook post this morning, the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) said he had met with the DAP lawmaker in Kuala Kangsar, during which the minister had advised Lee to be more cautious when quoting Quranic verses.
Ipoh Timur MP Howard Lee has defended his recent statement in which he referenced a Quranic verse, clarifying his position while expressing regret for any inconvenience caused by his remarks.
Ipoh Timur MP Howard Lee will provide his statement to the police as part of an investigation into his interpretation of a Quran verse, after he was called to assist investigations.
