(The Malay Mail) – Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia rejected today a motion to refer PKR MP Rafizi Ramli to the Parliament’s Rights and Privileges Committee over the latter’s remarks on the indelible ink supplier.

Rafizi, who is the Pandan MP, said last Tuesday that the supplier of the indelible ink used in Election 2013 is linked to Election Commission (EC) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Mohd Yusof and deputy chairman Datuk Wan Ahmad Wan Omar.

”In this matter, I am fair,” Pandikar ruled in Parliament here today.

”The three conditions fall short,” he said, referring to the three criteria required to send a lawmaker to the Parliament’s Rights and Privileges Committee, which are: the statement is false, the MP knows the statement is false but does not correct it, and the MP has intentions to mislead the House.
