The Batu Kawan MP said Rashid Hasnon made a “mockery of our Parliament” by ejecting her but allowing Tajuddin Abdul Rahman to remain.
“This is a grave precedent set by the deputy speaker where the Pasir Salak MP used foul language in the house, walked scot-free with no apology nor remorse because the deputy speaker didn’t have the guts to make him apologise and retract it,” she said in a series of tweets.
Earlier today, Kasthuri was ejected from the Dewan Rakyat after refusing to accept Rashid’s ruling on Tajuddin’s behaviour.
Rashid had ruled that Tajuddin’s alleged use of expletives was not recorded in the Hansard, prompting a reaction from Kasthuri.
Kasthuri got into an argument with Rashid before he asked her to leave the house.
She said Tajuddin was heard making lewd remarks “at least thrice” by nine MPs during a heated exchange, despite the microphones being turned off.
Tajuddin’s denial was an outright lie, she said.
“(The deputy) speaker totally misled the house and made a mockery of our Parliament.”
Last week, Tajuddin was accused of uttering obscenities during an argument with opposition MPs while debating the sexual harassment bill.
