DEPUTY Speaker Nga Kor Ming today defended his decision to eject and suspend Pasir Salak MP Tajuddin Abdul Rahman for disobeying his orders and repeatedly interrupting the question time.

Nga said clauses 43 and 44 of the Standing Order empowered him to eject the three-term Umno MP.  

“As the Speaker of Dewan Rakyat, it is compulsory for us to protect the image and dignity of the house. Hence, I carried out my duty in line with clause 44 of the Standing Order,” he told reporters outside the Dewan Rakyat.

 Nga said he initially suspended Tajuddin for two days, but after the Umno MP refused to obey orders and warnings, he had added another two days.

“I gave him about 15 minutes to leave the House but he didn’t.

“His motive was obviously to be rude, mouthing profanities and to be a hero. But I think his attitude showed he’s not a hero but a zero,” Nga said.

Nga also said he was neutral when making such decision and reminded all lawmakers that similar action will be taken if they disobeyed the speaker.

“I’m absolutely neutral when I do my job.

“Even if lawmakers from the ruling party have such an attitude, I will not hesitate carry out my duty,” he said. – July 3, 2019.
