THE Dewan Rakyat passed a motion to refer former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to the Rights and Privileges Committee for breaking an embargo on the Felda White Paper.
Najib, who was not present in Parliament, was referred to the committee after a motion against him was passed after two hours of heated debates.
He said the initial wordings of the motion had stated that Najib would be suspended for three months but they were changed at the last minute to refer him to the committee instead. In response, Liew said the government did not want to presume any wrongdoing by Najib as he had the right to argue his case before the committee.
