Anwar out for six months amid loud protests

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 16 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim was suspended today for six months from Parliament amid loud protests and a walkout by Pakatan Rakyat (PR) MPs calling the Dewan Rakyat a kangaroo court

The opposition leader received the boot for claiming earlier this year that Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s public relations consultants APCO Worldwide had been behind both the 1 Malaysia and One Israel concepts.

There was no debate on the motion to suspend Anwar as Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia (picture) claimed that the opposition’s rowdy behaviour showed that they had no intention to debate the matter.

“I see no intention on the opposition’s part to debate the matter. So we will go ahead and vote on this without debate,” said Pandikar over shouts of agreement from Barisan Nasional MPs.

PR lawmakers had tried their best to delay the voting on Anwar’s suspension by interjecting and disturbing Pandikar every few minutes.

The MPs had brought placards calling the Dewan Rakyat a “kangaroo court”.

All PR lawmakers walked out after the motion to suspend Anwar was passed.

The Dewan Rakyat is currently debating the motion on suspending Azmin Ali, Karpal Singh and Sivarasa Rasiah. There are no PR lawmakers inside the hall as of right now as only BN MPs are debating the motion.

MORE TO COME
