[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – DAP Youth is calling for a motion in the Dewan Rakyat to overturn Deputy Speaker Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon’s move to reject motions filed by MPs to unseat the speaker.

Wing chief Howard Lee urged Bagan Datuk MP Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Umno president, to submit a “substantive motion” in accordance with Article 43 of the Standing Orders to overturn Rashid’s “unparliamentary and undemocratic ruling”.

Article 43 states that the speaker’s decision on any point of order shall not be open to appeal and shall not be reviewed by the House, “except upon a substantive motion moved for that purpose”.

It adds that such a motion shall not require more than two days’ notice.
