Digital Parliament of ideals and hope

EVER since the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah opened the meeting of Parliament on May 18, I have repeatedly lamented the lack of opportunity given to parliamentarians to debate thereafter.

As much as the government’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic has been praised internationally, and though policies to help us emerge from the movement control order and rehabilitate the economy have been welcomed, these could be further improved if elected representatives had a chance to scrutinise them.
