Picking the right battles
By Deborah Loh, The Nut Graph
IN his interview with The Nut Graph yesterday, Puchong Member of Parliament (MP) Gobind Singh Deo spoke about being suspended from attending the Dewan Rakyat, and how the loss of an MP's salary affects an elected representative's service to constituents.
Gobind, who is blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin's lawyer, was suspended for alleging Datuk Seri Najib Razak's involvement in the Altantuya Shaariibuu murder case during a parliamentary debate.
In the second and final part of this interview, Gobind talks about raising unpopular questions in Parliament, something his father, DAP chairperson Karpal Singh, is also famous for.
The first-time MP also shares his thoughts on Pakatan Rakyat's future.
