Face masks no longer compulsory for MPs during proceedings, says Speaker


KUALA LUMPUR: MPs will no longer be compelled to wear face masks when they are speaking in the House, said Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun.

Azhar said this was because Covid-19 rapid antigen testing (RTK-Antigen) and PCR tests had found no positive cases since proceedings began on Sept 6.
