Rashid had ruled that Tajuddin’s alleged use of expletives in the House was not recorded in Parliament’s Hansard, prompting a reaction from Kasthuri.

The DAP MP got into an argument with Rashid before he asked her to leave the Dewan Rakyat.

Last week, Tajuddin was accused of uttering obscenities in the Dewan Rakyat during a heated argument with opposition MPs while debating the sexual harassment bill.

Elaborating on his decision on Tajuddin today, Rashid said he took the appropriate action last week.

He said he had issued Tajuddin a warning during the incident, adding that the Umno man had automatically been suspended from the lower house for two days effective last Wednesday.

Refusing to accept this, Kasthuri said she was “disappointed” by the deputy speaker’s ruling.

“You (Rashid) ordered me to leave yet he (Tajuddin) got away with only a warning.

“What is so hard about ordering him to retract his comments and apologising,” she said.
