Rude or not? Shahidan urges clarity on ‘biadap’ term usage in Parliament

Deputy Speaker Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor says MPs should cite instances of ‘biadab’ language when filing motions

KUALA LUMPUR – The word “biadap” (rude) was brought up again in the Dewan Rakyat by Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim (Arau-PN), who sought clarification from Deputy Speaker Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor (Cameron Highlands-BN).

Before the committee-level Supply Bill 2024 debate started, Shahidan cited Standing Order 36(4), where any offensive language or sexist remarks made by MPs would be out of order.

It turned out that Shahidan merely asked for confirmation if the term could be used, as he wanted to describe a deputy minister’s response as biadap.

Ramli urged lawmakers to cite the phrases deemed biadab when filing motions, as the perspective is universal.

“The perspective of biadab (rude) is universal. In the context of the Dewan, I need you to state where in (the other lawmakers’) speech is deemed rude.

“In this issue, please state (the rude statement) when filing a motion, so it is easier to form a decision.”

Earlier, Shahidan said he received information from people that using the term biadab breaches Section 36(4) of the Standing Orders, as it was uncouth.

He said this after claiming that the term was allowed to be used in Parliament yesterday.

In response, Ramli said Shahidan had two options for remedies; either raise the issue immediately or file a motion for Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul.

Ramli suggested the latter, as he said the speaker would have the final say in such motions. – November 8, 2023
