DAP's Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng earned a five-day suspension from the Dewan Rakyat today after he called a ruling made by Deputy Speaker Azalina Othman Said "stupid".

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun initially imposed a two-day suspension but Lim's refusal to leave the hall earned him an additional three-day ban.

Azhar also threatened to call the police on Lip Eng after his refusal to retract the slur against Azalina and to leave the hall as instructed.
