A ruckus broke out in Parliament when a deputy minister declined to answer a question on behalf of another ministry.
The incident happened when Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi (BN- Bagan Datoh) stood up to ask the Home Ministry a supplementary question over the cancellation of a proposed project to upgrade police stations.
