Sairin ordered out over attire
Daily Express
An Assemblyman was ordered out of the House after he was found violating the official dress code, Wednesday.
Just as the question-and-answer session was about to start at 10am, Deputy Speaker Datuk James Vitalis ordered Datuk Sairin Karno (Liawan) to leave the House for wearing a suit and a white collarless shirt without tie. His attire was similar to that worn by Jelebu MP, Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim, in Parliament that also caused a stir recently.
Sairin's attire was raised by Backbenchers Club Chairman who is also Sulabayan Assemblyman, Datuk Mohd Lan Alani, who stated that the ala Nehru attire had never been approved by the State Cabinet even though it has been approved by the Federal Cabinet.
"We feel the Liawan Assemblyman is aware about this and should leave the House immediately to change his clothes," he said.
Vitalis asked Mohd Lan the decision of the Parliament when dealing with Dr Rais' case.
Just as Mohd Lan was about to stand up, Datuk Lajim Ukin (Klias) stood up to defend Sairin, saying he was properly attired and it was not jeorpardising the House's integrity.
Vitalis replied that it was unprecedented as it was the first time it was brought up by any assemblyman. He agreed to let Sairin stay but this was met by objections from Mohd Lan who insisted that Sairin leave the House.
In the ensuing argument, Sairin stood up and expressed his readiness to leave and change his clothes.
As the controversy gained momentum, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman asserted that he supported the request by Mohd Lan for Sairin to leave the House as the attire had not been approved by the State Cabinet.
Vitalis then directed Sairin to leave that was met by a round of applause from assemblymen.
Met outside the House, Sairin claimed he was not aware about his attire violating the dress code since he believed it was already approved at the Federal Cabinet level.
"(But) I have no problem to change my clothes," he said and reappeared in the House at 10.30am wearing a suit and a white shirt with a tie. He was given a round of applause.
