PETALING JAYA: An Opposition MP questioned why the Dewan Rakyat had to continue proceedings until the wee hours to “bulldoze” Bills, calling it a “trend” that he has noticed of late.

Gobind Singh Deo (DAP – Puchong) raised Standing Order 12(2) on the Speaker having the power at any time to suspend the sitting for a stated time.
