KUALA LUMPUR (July 31): Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun has decided to recuse himself from the process of deciding on a motion proposed by Ipoh Member of Parliament M Kula Segaran. Azhar said his office received Kula Segaran’s letter on the motion on July 29. "The motion contains matters connected with Attorney-General Tan Sri Idrus Harun who, as the public knows, is my elder brother,” he said in a statement today. Azhar said he was leaving it to his two deputies, Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon and Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, to decide on the motion. Kula Segaran, in a letter dated July 29 to the Dewan Rakyat secretary, proposed a motion to take appropriate action against Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan and the Attorney-General for allegedly misleading the Dewan Rakyat.
