KUALA LUMPUR: A full investigation will be conducted into how the mob who attacked Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad this morning outside the main Parliament building had entered the compound in the first place, says Deputy Home Minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed.<\/p>\n

Nur Jazlan said that visitors to Parliament had to be invited in by government servants or the MPs themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomeone must take responsibility for visitors coming into a restricted area of Parliament.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t know if they had actually registered themselves at the gate. We\u2019re going to direct the government security office unit to investigate the matter,\u201d Nur Jazlan said.<\/p>\n

This follows the sudden storm sparked in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday after Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman had remarked that Seputeh MP Teresa Kok \u201cis the only woman with a \u2018Kok\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

The remark threw the House into an uproar, with the opposition demanding that Tajuddin retract his statement.<\/p>\n

Amanah MP Khalid Samad, in defending Kok, had called Tajuddin \u201cmenteri sial\u201d (cursed minister) and this had Tajuddin replying \u201ckurang ajar\u201d (rude).<\/p>\n

The group of about 20-30 men that harrassed Khalid were shouting \u201cHidup Pasir Salak! Hidup Pasir Salak!\u201d (Long live Pasir Salak), referring to Tajuddin\u2019s Pasir Salak constituency.<\/p>\n

One of the men had also shouted at Khalid, saying \u201cini baru permulaan\u201d (this is just the beginning).<\/p>\n

Nur Jazlan questioned why security had allowed the Pasir Salak mob inside from the start, noting Khalid\u2019s claim that security had warned him of their presence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should have taken immediate and preventive action to not let these people inside the compound, or event come close to the actual Parliament chamber.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to remind people that Parliament is a secure area, that\u2019s why the issue will be investigated thoroughly. Serious action will be taken against those who violated Parliament\u2019s security,\u201d Nur Jazlan said.<\/p>\n

When questioned if the attackers could be investigated for terrorism or for attacking parliamentary democracy, Nur Jazlan only said to wait until investigations were concluded.<\/p>\n
