PETALING JAYA: Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (pic) has resigned as Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker. The Pengerang MP cited several reasons for her resignation including conflict of roles and responsibilities between being an Umno supreme council member and MP in a ruling coalition. She added that lack of consultation and joint decision-making impacted her performance as deputy speaker. "As per standing order, a Deputy Speaker cannot make his or her own ruling in the Dewan. "I will support any reforms the government and the Opposition may want to move in their collective wisdom," she said.
