PKR wants Shabery to be referred to rights committee


Padang Serai MP N Surendran has filed a motion to refer Communications and Multimedia Minister Shabery Cheek to Parliament’s committee of rights and privileges for saying that state broadcaster RTM is “unbiased”.

NONESurendran (right) told a press conference at the Parliament lobby that Shabery’s verbal reply to him in the Dewan Rakyat on RTM was misleading.

“The verbal reply given by the minister on July 9 states that the information disseminated by RTM was based on news value and is unbiased.

“Any media would know that is untrue. We know RTM is biased towards BN and the government. Therefore the statement or answer given by the minister is untrue,” he said.

He added that Under Standing Order 36(12), ministers or MPs cannot confuse the House.

Surendran revealed that he had submitted the motion to Dewan Rakyat secretary Roosme Hamzah on July 12.

“After he decides, he will say whether the motion will be debated or not in the House,” he said.

Pakatan had also filed a motion to refer Simpang Renggam MP Liang Teck Meng to the same committee for accusing Opposition Anwar Ibrahim of having offshore accounts without producing evidence.

Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin, who is also PKR deputy whip, had said that the House speaker had informed him that this will be debated in the house on Thursday.
