PKR vice-president and Padang Serai MP N Surendran has been slapped with a six-month suspension from Parliament.
Meanwhile, PKR deputy president and Gombak MP Azmin Ali was ejected from the House during a heated altercation when the motion to suspend Surendran was tabled.
Pakatan Rakyat MPs chanted "rubber stamp" loudly in protest towards the end, echoing Surendran's accusation about Parliament being a rubber stamp, which is one of the reasons the motion to suspend him was moved.
A visibly agitated opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim later told reporters, "It’s official. Parliament is indeed a rubber stamp."
Minister in charge of parliamentary affairs Shahidan Kassim read out the motion against Surendran, who irked the government due to remarks made in a press conference on Monday.
Azmin, meanwhile, was ejected for refusing to apologise to a deputy minister after accusing the latter of having "an ugly attitude".
