KUALA LUMPUR: Several MPs want action taken against Batu MP P. Prabakaran
(pic) for attending THE Dewan Rakyat last Thursday (Dec 10), claiming that he should have been in home quarantine after allegedly coming into close contact with a Covid-19 patient.
"We cannot take the matter lightly ... I request the Speaker refer him to Parliament's Rights and Privileges Committee," Arau MP Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim said in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (Dec 17).
Shahidan, who is Perikatan Nasional backbenchers chief, added that any action by health authorities against Prabakaran is separate from Parliament's.
Tanjung Karang MP Tan Sri Noh Omar agreed that Parliament should take action.
