Batu Pahat MP Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon, who is also Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker during press conference near the Batu Pahat Parliment office here on Thursday (Mac 12).

BATU PAHAT (Bernama): MPs must attend the parliamentary sitting next Monday (May 18) or face disciplinary action, says Dewan Rakyat Deputy Speaker Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon (pic).

He said the sitting was important as it had been put on hold for six months, and that there should not be any reason for MPs to be absent unless they had “solid written justification” such as health problems.
