KUALA LUMPUR (March 30): The government will study a proposal to formulate guidelines, including mechanisms, to prevent members of Parliament from touching on sensitive issues of race, religion and the monarchy (3R) during debates in the Dewan Rakyat. Deputy National Unity Minister R Yuneswaran said the proposal will be presented to Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Dr Johari Abdul in the near future. “Although MPs have immunity in the Dewan Rakyat, every elected representative must act responsibly to ensure that statements made do not provoke anger or tension among the public. He said all parties, including politicians, should focus on the national development agenda and the well-being of the people. Yuneswaran also said he supports a proposal by the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia to introduce a National Harmony Act.
