Shabery to propose cancellation of Dewan Rakyat telecast - The Star

IPOH: May 1, 2008 By CLARA CHOOI

Information Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek will propose to the Cabinet Friday the cancellation of the Dewan Rakyat live telecast.

The minister cited the misuse of the telecast by Opposition MPs to play up trivial matters as the reason behind his proposal.

He also apologised to Malaysians for allowing the telecast, saying that it had tarnished the reputation of Parliament as an honourable place.
