Enhancing the country’s body politic

I REFER to the report “Standing Orders being amended to allow live coverage of PAC hearings” (The Star, June 1; online at bit.ly/star_pac).It is heartening to note that newly-appointed Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairperson Datuk Dr Noraini Ahmad has been proactive in liaising with Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Mohamad Ariff Md Yusoff regarding proposed amendments to the Parlia­ment’s Standing Orders to allow for live coverage of PAC hearings.

Live coverage of such hearings will give the Malaysian public the opportunity to follow the proceedings and have a better understanding of the issues being dealt with.
