The government has submitted a motion at the Parliament seeking for a 12-month suspension of Puchong member of parliament Gobind Singh.
The motion, submitted by Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Nazri Abdul Aziz, will be debated and voted when the Parliament resumes its sitting on Monday.
Nazri would be tabling the motion at 11.30am and the House would be open for debates before a vote is taken.
According to the motion, the severe action against Gobind is sought over his unparliamentary conduct last Thursday.The motion said that Gobind had implicated Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in a murder case.
The motion stated that Gobind's accusations against Najib were serious and breached the privileges he enjoyed as a parliamentarian.
It also said that Gobind had also insulted deputy speaker Ronald Kiandee and the House.
If passed, the motion would mean Gobind would be suspended for 12 months, without enjoying any allowance and perks as an MP.
When I read about Gobind suspended over Altantuya two days ago, I had a feeling that some kind of punishment would surely be meted against him. In the first place, Najib had been implicated in the murder case right from the day his name was mentioned in court.
