Communication and Multimedia Minister Salleh Said Keruak has urged the opposition to practice what it preaches after DAP lawmaker Lim Lip Eng hurled abusive language in Parliament.

He pointed out that when BN MPs crossed the line in terms of language, the opposition would be up in arms, giving lectures on the importance of proper conduct and decorum.

“I believe that the same rule should also apply to members of the opposition as well.

“If we are to take political debates to the next level, then those who emphasise on the importance of civil exchanges, should be mature enough to follow their own prescription,” he told Malaysiakini.
