Parliament's Standing Orders Committee to handle absent MPs issue, says Speaker

KUALA LUMPUR: Any proposal to name MPs who are absent from Parliament proceedings will be brought to the Standing Orders Committee before a decision is made, says Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul.

Datuk Seri Ronald Kiandee (PN-Beluran) had asked Johari to define absenteeism and explain news reports that absent MPs' names would be shamed by revealing who they are.
