Gobind stays suspended but gets salary


KUALA LUMPUR: Puchong MP Gobind Singh Deo’s one-year suspension from Parliament stays but he will receive his remunerations, benefits and allowances, the High Court ruled.

Justice Mohd Ariff Mohd Yusof said the Dewan Rakyat was empowered under its Standing Orders to suspend MPs found in contempt of the House, and Gobind’s allegation that the then Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak was involved in a murder case was an act of contempt.
