PETALING JAYA: It is a misconception that debates and questions will not be allowed during the Parliament’s special sitting that starts today, says Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun. In fact, in my notices to all MPs, I stated clearly and expressly that I will allow all questions, proposals, discussions. The special sitting, he said, had been called under Standing Order 11 (3) by Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. “Only the Prime Minister will appoint the business to be transacted during a special sitting,” said Azhar. He said those attending the special sitting must wear masks, adding that double masking was encouraged.
