Names of absent MPs will be displayed on Dewan Rakyat website, says Speaker


GEORGE TOWN: The names of MPs found to be absent from Parliamentary sittings deliberately will be displayed on the Dewan Rakyat website so that their parliamentary constituents can be informed of the matter.

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said this was among the improvements being implemented to boost the attendance of MPs during Dewan Rakyat sittings as they have responsibilities and duties towards the parliamentary constituency and constituents they represent.
