Dewan Rakyat Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia and secretary Roosme Hamzah have applied to strike out an originating summons filed by Petaling Jaya Selatan MP Hee Loy Sian over not being able to ask questions related to 1MDB.

This was disclosed at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur before Justice Kamaludin Md Said today. The judge fixed Jan 8 to hear the striking-out application made by the speaker.

Hee, a second-term PKR lawmaker, filed the application in court challenging the speaker's decision not to allow questions related to 1MDB...

Pandikar argues that rejection of 1MDB questions in Parliament cannot be questioned in court.
