Summary
Parliamentary debate should be conducted professionally, with good manners and in line with the Dewan Rakyat standing orders. Abusive language that affects the dignity of other members must be avoided, and differences of opinion should be restrained by good character. Members from both the government and the opposition should stay focused on the issue at hand and not argue by following desires for personal or group interests, as this is prohibited by Islamic law.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penggunaan kata-kata kesat yang melibatkan maruah ahli-ahli yang lain adalah wajib dielakkan kerana kesannya sangat besar kepada individu-individu yang terlibat dan juga kepada kedudukan institusi parlimen yang mulia dan tinggi.
