PETALING JAYA,Feb 17: Dewan Rakyat deputy speaker Azalina Othman Said has spoken against the continued suspension of Parliament, saying she was “bewildered” that Malaysia is unable or refuses to find ways to facilitate parliamentary sittings.
In a letter to Attorney-General Idrus Harun, Azalina also mooted the suspension of the current Cabinet and for it to be replaced with an Emergency Cabinet with limited powers until the state of emergency is lifted on Aug 1.
“Being a Member of Parliament who has served for approxımately 17 years now, I am bewildered as to how and why we are unable to and or refuse to employ means in the ordınance to facıltate Parliament sittings like other nations have,” she wrote.
