DAP's Kampung Tunku assemblyperson Lau Weng San has looked to the UK House of Commons to explain why Dewan Rakyat Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia's interpretation of sub judice is inaccurate.

The House of Commons Standing Orders clearly state that only "cases in which proceedings are active in United Kingdom courts" shall not be referred to in any motion, debate or question, said Lau.

The Standing Orders also state that "where a ministerial decision is in question or in the opinion of the Chair, a case concerns issues of national importance" then reference to the issues or case may be made, he said.
