KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 — Gerik Member of Parliament Fathul Huzir Ayob clarified that he was not sick but was overcome by emotions and shed tears when talking about the hardship of the people in his parliamentary constituency while debating in the Dewan Rakyat, yesterday.
“The poor people whom I met came to mind. They are really destitute and having a tough life. I am not sick at all. Even the doctor said I am healthy, young and can still drink teh tarik,” he joked at a media conference at the Parliament lobby today. It led Deputy Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor to ask the MP from Perikatan Nasional several times whether he could continue the debate before ordering him to rest and get medical assistance.
He who likened the people of Gerik to ‘living in a world of plenty yet dying of hunger’ suggested that the Ministry of Finance set up a corporation and foundation to look into the development of projects in Hulu Perak by involving the local community.
