After the incident, the Speaker of Dewan Rakyat warned the members to behave or they will be disciplined.[3]

The incident became an internet meme focusing on the combination of Malay and Bung Moktar's broken English.[4] His outburst in Malay was edited together with an insert from a different video of Malaysian former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin saying "Can you speak English?", followed by Bung Moktar's continuation in English with the remark "Fuck you!". The meme ended with the grammatically incorrect caption "he do speak english" accompanied with a cut piece of the song "Sanctuary Guardian - Earthbound" which is common in this format.[5]

"Bocor" remark

He and Jasin MP Mohammad Said bin Yusof stirred controversy for making sexist comments and obscene comments to DAP's Batu Gajah MP, Fong Po Kuan in during a parliamentary session in 2007. He followed Mohammad Said by saying that Fong "leaked" every month (referring to the menstruation cycle in women), while they were debating about the leaks in the parliament building.
