Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has clarified that the phrase ‘Wallahi, Wabillahi, Watallahi’ has not been used in the swearing-in ceremony of Members of Parliament (MPs), not only for this term but also for previous terms.

In a video posted on TikTok, Fahmi said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul also said that it was not stated in the Standing Orders of the meeting.

To check the claim, which was raised by Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim, he reviewed the swearing-in ceremonies of MPs that had taken place involving Shahidan, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi last year, Pagoh MP Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin (2018), Marang MP Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang (2013) and Pulai MP Suhaizan Kaiat last Tuesday.
