Azalina questions rationale for not allowing Parliamentary committees to work during Emergency

PETALING JAYA: Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said (pic) has questioned the rationale for not allowing Parliament's committees, including the Special Select Committees, to conduct their activities as it prevents lawmakers from looking into issues affecting Malaysians.

The Pengerang MP has also suggested to Attorney General Tan Sri Idrus Harun to consider advising the suspension of duties of the current Cabinet and replace it with the appointment of a Special Emergency Cabinet which consists of relevant ministers only throughout the Emergency period.
