KUALA LUMPUR: Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo has been suspended from Parliament without allowance and benefits for one year for alleging that Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was involved in a murder case and for contempt against the Deputy Speaker.
Parliament Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia made the decision on Monday after the matter was put to vote and a majority of MPs were in favour of suspending Gobind Singh.
On Thursday, Gobind Singh was ejected from the House for the third time when he kept on speaking about Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu’s murder case although the chair had ordered him to stop.
Deputy Speaker Datuk Ronald Kiandee ruled that it was sub-judice to talk about a case that was pending in court.
The outburst occurred after Najib had finished replying to points raised during the debate on the mini budget.
Later at the Parliament lobby, Gobind Singh said it was most unfortunate that he had been suspended.
“The fight does not stop here. I will focus more on constituency work from now one and in one year, I will be back,” he said.
He also said he was disappointed that he was not given a chance to defend himself in the House.
