House suspends Gobind for one year

By Adib Zalkapli

KUALA LUMPUR, March 16 – The Dewan Rakyat today suspended DAP’s Gobind Singh Deo for one year for calling Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak a murderer and insulting the House Deputy Speaker last week.

The motion to suspend the Puchong MP for a year without Parliamentary pay and privileges was tabled by Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz this morning and was supported by all Barisan Nasional Backbenchers.

The decision to move a motion to suspend the first term MP was criticised by Lim Kit Siang, who said that it is against the Standing Order.

On Thursday, Gobind was asked to leave the House by Deputy Speaker Datuk Ronald Kiandee after he shouted: “Answer me you murderer!” to Najib as the latter was leaving the House.
