Speaking to the Borneo Post, Tiong, who is also the Bintulu MP, said Speaker of the House, Tan 
Sri Tanpikar Amin, had earlier informed members of the proceeding and called on them to abide by it so as not to waste time.

In the interception, he said Fong had asked about the non-delectable ink for the general election, an issue that has been dealt with extensively before.

"Fong was therefore wasting precious time in the parliament."

He said Fong had been suspended from the parliament for similar undesirable conduct in 2001. 

The incident last week should not be a repeat, Tiong commented.

He said the Batu Gajah woman had been in the parliament for three terms and she should have been familiar with the procedure.

He said parliamentarians must prepare their speech well to save time.

"The speaker has already indicated that not every parliamentarian has a chance to speak, and when one has it, he must therefore treasure it."

He said members should also not use the speech opportunity in the parliament as a glamour for personal show.

He was disappointed some members had even used it to launch personal attacks, point an accusing finger on others and stir the emotion of the people.

"Some feel they are infallible. They think they are always right and the others are always wrong. In some occasions, they try to create an impression that they are the righteous ones."

He said Chong had recently caused another stir in the house when he raised doubts on his club's agricultural study tour to Taiwan recently.

"This tour was in fact arranged with the help of the Agriculture Ministry for back benchers to be exposed to the agriculture technology in Taiwan."
