Speaker Tan Sri pandikar Amin Mulia rejected the motion , sumitted on Friday, on the ground hat it was not urgent.
In his motion, Ibrahim said the move clearly insulted the position of the Malay language as the national language, and insulted the foundation of the Federal Constitution.
"According to Article 152 of the Federal Constitution, the national language must be used for official purposes, as such road names are considered official business based on the National Language Act 1963/1967.
"The use of various languages can also cause much confusion."
