KUALA LUMPUR: Baling MP Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim was kicked out of the Dewan Rakyat today for accusing speaker Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof of bias.
Azeez is believed to have made the remark during a heated discussion between MPs on a spat which occurred in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
Shahidan Kassim (BN-Arau) said RSN Rayer (PH-Jelutong) had yet to retract a statement in which the latter had called him “bodoh”.
Ariff then instructed Rayer to retract his statement.
As the MPs were speaking, he said: “I heard that, Baling. Retract your statement. I already instructed him (Rayer) to retract his statement. Baling, you accused me of being biased, is that correct?
“If he repeats his claim one more time, I will boot him out,” he said before instructing for Azeez to be escorted from the hall.
However, Azeez, who appeared caught off-guard, said he had retracted his remark.
“Why am I being booted out?” he added. “I have retracted my statement. I can only be booted out if I didn’t retract what I said.”
However, Ariff said he did not accept Azeez’s retraction and ordered him out once more.
Opposition leader Ismail Sabri Yaakob later told reporters at the Parliament lobby that Azeez had been suspended for two days despite apologising and retracting his statement.
“We have never seen any action taken against the Jelutong MP, as if he is immune, while an opposition MP is kicked out even after he has apologised and retracted his statement,” he added.
He said Ariff should be fair as he does not represent any party while on the bench.
“He is the speaker who represents everyone in the Dewan Rakyat,” he said.
