“As this matter concerns parliamentary conduct, I will address it at the next parliamentary sitting,” said Ms Indranee in response to questions from The Straits Times.
On Tuesday morning, Mr Tan said in a Facebook post that he had to listen to the recording as he “did not recall the occasion”. He said he had apologised to Associate Professor Lim for using “unparliamentary language”. Prof Lim commented on Mr Tan’s post, saying the Speaker had called him and that he accepted the apology.
Ms Indranee’s move to address the matter shows there is “sufficient gravity” to the language that was used by the Speaker, added Prof Tan.
