An official motion has been moved in Malaysian Parliament to suspend ethnic Indian lawmaker Gobind Singh for trying to implicate Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in a murder case and will be taken up on Monday.
The motion tabled in parliament on Friday seeks to suspend Singh for 12 months.
It has charged the lawmaker with leveling serious charges against Najib, who is line to become the next Prime Minister and termed it as breach of privileges, New Strait
Times reported on Saturday.
The motion suggested a severe action against Gobind for his un-parliamentary conduct.
On Thursday, Gobind asked Najib to reply questions on his links to the death of Mongolian woman death two years ago. A close business associate of Najib was recently acquitted by a court for being involved in the murder of the woman.
Later, Singh was suspended from the House until the end of the day by deputy speaker Ronald Kiandee.
If the motion passed, it would mean Gobind would be suspended for 12 months, without enjoying any allowance and perks as an MP.
Thursdays suspension was Gobind's third from the House in his debut year as a parliamentarian.
He, along with lawyer-lawmaker father Karpal Singh, is a leading member of the opposition Democratic Action Party (DAP) of which the father is the chairman.
