PARLIAMENT | Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun rejected a written motion seeking an order for Bintulu MP Tiong King Sing to apologise over his "takut mati" remarks against Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

At the end of question time in the Dewan Rakyat this morning, Azhar said he had rejected the written motion by RSN Rayer (Harapan-Jelutong) on technical grounds and not on merit.
