The case stems from a false anecdote that former WP MP Raeesah Khan told in parliament in August 2021
“Had the timelines been different, I would have proposed a different course of action,” she told parliament while delivering a ministerial statement on a “determination” of the Committee of Privileges’ (COP) findings on Lim and Faisal.
“This outcome has happened because even though this house was entitled to act on the committee’s findings in 2021, it decided to give Lim and Faisal the benefit of the doubt for the time being,” Indranee said.
Knowingly giving false evidence to a parliamentary committee was dishonourable conduct and a serious contempt of parliament, dealt with under the PPIPA, Indranee said.
