Hold Parliament session online
ONE of Parliament’s main roles is to monitor and scrutinise the work of the government by questioning and debating policies.
We have now been told that the May 18 parliamentary session is only to listen to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s opening speech and discuss government bills and related matters. There will be no oral question session, written questions, motions and special chamber sittings. It has been reported that debates and ministers’ question time will be postponed to July. However, there has been no assurance of this.
Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin must exercise courage and face parliamentary oversight and scrutiny. His unelected Perikatan Nasional government has already met with opposition, with its legitimacy questioned. It is therefore critical for him to marshal the political will to stand up and face his colleagues in Parliament, and be subjected to detailed scrutiny.
