PKR has filed an emergency motion under Standing Order 18 (1) to discuss the conduct of inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar and subsequently sack him, mainly for using the Sedition Act against lawmakers.

PKR's Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin ( right ) filed the motion today with Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia's office.

"Until today, 36 MPs, university lecturers, students and social activists have been charged, arrested or interrogated by the police using the Sedition Act," he said in the motion.

He added that Malaysia's good name would be "tarnished" if Khalid continues to helm the police force.

Pandikar would decide by tomorrow or next week if the motion would be allowed to be debated.

Sim also described Khalid as the "Twitter sheriff" in his motion. 

 

Meanwhile, Pandikar today rejected an emergency motion by DAP's Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng to debate the government's implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from April 1.

 

Lim said that given the opposition to the implementation of GST, the House should debate on how the government plans to carry out its implementation.

 

However, Pandikar said that the motion was "not urgent" because the government has made "preparations" for its implementation.
