The government has submitted a motion at the Parliament seeking for a 12-month suspension of Puchong member of parliament Gobind Singh.
The motion, submitted by Minister in the Prime Minister's department Nazri Abdul Aziz, will be debated and voted when the Parliament resumes its sitting on Monday.
According to The Star, Nazri would be tabling the motion at 11.30am and the house would be open for debates and a vote will be called.
According to the motion, the severe action against Gobind is sought over his unparliamentary conduct last Thursday.
The motion said that Gobind had implicated Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in a murder case.
The motion stated that Gobind's accusations against Najib were serious and breached the privileges he enjoyed as a parliamentarian.
It also said that Gobind had also insulted deputy speaker Ronald Kiandee and the House.
If passed, the motion would mean Gobind would be suspended for 12 months, without enjoying any allowance and perks as an MP.
Last Thursday, Gobind was suspended from the House until the end of the day by Kiandee for refusing to obey the deputy speaker.
Gobind had wanted Najib, who had just completed his winding up speech on the mini-budget, to answer questions on his (Najib's) links with the death of Mongolian Altantuya Shaariibuu.
‘Answer me, you murderer'
Najib has been linked with Altantuya's death although the deputy prime minister has repeatedly denied it.
Despite repeated calls by Kiandee for Gobind to confine his questions to economic issues, the latter persisted in wanting Najib to answer questions relating to Altantuya.
"I have not finished with you. Please sit down... Pekan MP you are here, stand up and explain yourself," he told Najib.
"Answer me, you murderer," he said again, directing his verbal assault at Najib.
At this stage, Kiandee ordered Gobind to be escorted out of the House.
That was Gobind's third suspension from the House in his debut year as a parliamentarian.
If the motion is passed on Monday, it would be the most severe punishment meted out on Gobind.
Gobind could not be reached for comment.
A motion filed by a minister needs only one day to be scheduled in the House's order list and to be debated.
A similar motion filed by a member of parliament would need 14 days before it is brought to the House.
