PARLIAMENT | A minor commotion erupted in the Dewan Rakyat today after Shahidan Kassim (PN–Arau) claimed that DAP had wanted to shut down the Community Development Department (Kemas).

Shahidan initially called for the audit of opposition MP allocations that had allegedly been channelled to government agencies, with specific mentions of Kemas, and ruling party division heads who have lost in elections.
