Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul has announced a ban on MPs using words like "kafir" "Zionist" and "Yahudi"or in Parliament to refer to each other. This is coming after a series of arguments between MPs, in which several of them resorted to using these terms pejoratively. So first, we speak to a political communications expert about the dangers of misusing language and weaponising words. Then, our listeners chime in on whether politicians should be more careful - and precise - about the words they use.
