Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia said he will investigate a motion that claimed Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak misled the House in his Budget speech.

The motion to refer Najib to the Rights and Privileges Committee was brought by Steven Sim (DAP-Bukit Mertajam)

Sim had asked Pandikar for a ruling on the matter at the end of Question Time, but Pandikar said he needed time to investigate the claim.

“Give me a chance to investigate, then I will make a ruling,” Pandikar said, explaining that there must be a prime facie case before someone can be referred to the committee.
