GEORGE TOWN: Members of Parliament who fail to attend Dewan Rakyat sessions for a certain period risk losing their allowances once the Parliamentary Services Act (PSA) comes into effect.

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said attendance requirements for MPs are clearly stipulated in the law, noting that those who are absent for six consecutive months without a valid reason may lose their seats.
