“I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the Opposition leader back to resume his duties,” he said.
Razman, the former Perak PAS commissioner, was suspended on April 16.
His suspension followed a motion by Ong Boon Piow (PH-Bercham), who accused him of making slanderous and racially provocative statements.

The comments were made during a Dec 2 sitting, when Razman claimed that Malaysian citizens had raised Chinese national flags at an event in Teluk Intan.
Razman also stepped down as state PAS commissioner on Sept 18, with Bagan Serai MP Datuk Seri Idris Ahmad taking his place.
