Performance of debate in the House of Representatives

Before 1999, the atmosphere of the debate was more polite. Before debating, they made a study and showed quality as elected representatives to seek and reprimand the government's mistakes. However, after 1999, the quality of the debate began to decline when the rebuke began to decline and one's personal accusation began to grow. This situation is still ongoing.

Non-governmental associations

He became President of the Sarawak Ex-Police Association of Malaysia of Sarawak. He suggested the police and the Home Ministry to withdraw the use of the kind of sub-machine guns in public places such as roads, towns and airports as it is horrifying and scary. Malaysia is not in a war atmosphere. He suggested police use guns and revolvers only following two firing incidents involving police and youth in Seremban and Shah Alam.
