KUALA LUMPUR: Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul has issued a stern reminder to ministers and deputy ministers to honour their commitments by providing written replies to questions raised by MPs in the House.

He said written replies must be provided within five days.

"It has come to my attention that one or two ministries have yet to do that," he said before proceeding with the order of business on Thursday (Nov 12).

Datuk Seri Dr Ronald Kiandee (PN-Beluran) then expressed regret that repeated reminders to administration members have not been heeded.

Johari added that Parliament aims to ensure the smooth and effective administration of the august House, particularly with the Parliamentary Services Act 2025 now in force.
