JUNE 25 — The Committee of Privileges is a Dewan Rakyat select committee which considers matters relating to parliamentary privilege.
It is clearly stated that the Committee of Privileges shall be referred to on “any matter which appears to affect the powers and privileges of the House” and “it shall be the duty of the Committee to consider any such matters to them referred, and to report on them to the House.” The Committee, however, can only consider matters referred to it by the Dewan Rakyat as a whole. It reports to the Dewan Rakyat its conclusions on whether a breach of privileges or a contempt has occurred and its recommendations on any sanctions.
It must be remembered that an investigation by the Committee of Privileges is a parliamentary one operating according to the rules and conventions of parliament. It is separate from the legal process, because only parliamentarians can make decisions about issues of parliamentary privilege.The House of Commons was misled.
