Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Madam, I rise to a Point of Order.

¶ 02 Standing Order No. 91(1) states: “No Member shall make any imputation of improper motives against another Member, or make reference to personal affairs of another Member.” He referred to my personal affairs, saying I went abroad and met people, casting aspersions. Such matters should not be raised here. If not addressed, I will write to the Hon. Speaker and respond properly tomorrow morning. May I have a minute to respond now?
