The war of words between the opposition and Barisan Nasional lawmakers went out of control during Nga's debate on the opening speech of by the Sultan of Perak, Sultan Nazrin Shah.
This prompted Speaker S. Thangasvari to adjourn the session to Monday.

"Why is the opposition pursuing the issue in Perak ... the Selangor MB Inc should take the lead.
