After 50 years only now the have tighten security in Parliament

Security at Parliament has been tightened following the scuffle on Thursday, Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Dr Abdul Hamid Pawanteh said yesterday.
He said this was tragic because Parliament was supposed to be a place where anyone could freely visit.
Speaking to Bernama after receiving a visit from European Parliament Chairman Hartmut Nassauer at his office here, Dr Abdul Hamid said the security measures, although unpleasant, had become necessary because of a group of people who do not understand that force, coercion and intimidation are not acceptable to society.
Visitors to Parliament building would be subjected to strict checks at the main gate instead of at the entrance, he said.
Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia said the message had been relayed to the opposition MPs.
“It could cause a traffic jam as we will have to screen everyone,” Dr Abdul Hamid said.
He said group visits such as that of school children would not be prevented from entering the Parliament compound.
”We will only stop and impose restrictions on those who can disrupt or threaten peace or security of Parliament,” he said.
A commotion broke out in Parliament compound on Thursday when a group of people demanded an apology from DAP chairman Karpal Singh for using the word “celaka” (damn) on Umno Youth.
Several members of Parliament were also involved in the scuffle. When asked whether people who created the commotion would be blacklisted from entering Parliament, Dr Abdul Hamid said such a move was not necessary.
Parliament would not add more security personnel but would reduce the number of visitors, he said, adding that the incident not only brought shame to Parliament but to all Malaysians.
Initial investigations showed that the Selangor Umno Youth members had gone on their own to Parliament House. None of the MPs were aware of their presence.
