KUALA LUMPUR: Members of Parliament facing charges in court will be barred from attending parliamentary sittings under a new amendment which the Cabinet has agreed to in principle.
They will also be barred from all other activities, in both the Dewan Rakyat and Dewan Negara, under proposed amendments to the Houses of Parliament (Privileges and Powers) Act 1952 (Act 347), says Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
