Khir Toyo ejected from DUN

Khir Toyo ejected from the Selangor Legislative Assembly (DUN) when he called the Speaker, YB Teng Chang Khim, as bias.

He was offered to apologize and withdraw his statement a few times but he refused.

The Spaker made a decision to eject him from the Assembly. All other BN assemblymen also left together with him.

Earlier, DAP Assemblyman for Sekinchan Ng Suee Lim had requested to the Speaker under Standing Order 87 of whether it is against the privilege provisions of the House for any lawyer to serve any legal notice to any Assemblyman in the Assembly.

The Speaker has replied under Standing Order 88 which provides that all matters not specifically provided in the Standing Order and all questions related to the detailed working of these Orders shall be regulated in such manner, not inconsistent with these Orders, as Mr. Speaker may from time to time direct; and in giving any such direction Mr Speaker shall have regard to the usage of Commonwealth Parliamentary practice so far as such usages can be applied to the proceedings of the Assembly.

The Speaker then proceed to reply that such action of serving legal notice to any Assemblyman in the Assembly is against the privilege provisions of the House.

Khir Toyo, who is also the Assemblyman of Sungai Panjang disagreed with the Speaker and refused to tender his apology when he called the Speaker as "bias". Khir Toyo was unable to make any reference to the Standing Order when he disagreed with the Speaker.
