Penang speaker chides 'missing' lawmakers during Q & A session

Penang Legislative Assembly Speaker Law Choo Kiang chided the elected representatives to be “more serious” about their role in the House, which sits twice a year, and warned them to be present during the question-and-answer sessions.

Law (PKR-Bukit Tambun) criticised those who were not in the assembly when their questions came up during the daily question-and-answer session yesterday and today.

“It was you who wanted amendments to the Standing Order to extend the Q & A session,” Law told the 39 representatives in the state assembly this morning. Pakatan Harapan has 29 reps - DAP 19, PKR 10, while PAS has one and Umno has 10.
