Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said he would need to come up with something more stringent to improve the attendance of MPs, as they have a duty and responsibility to their constituents and constituency. — Bernama picKUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul said he was seriously looking into ways, including the idea of cutting the Member of Parliament’s allowance if they were continuously absent when Parliament is in session.
“I think it is quite reasonable because, at the moment, we don’t have that, meaning MPs are free and easy. After clocking in for a while, they leave, which is not fair,” the former Gurun assemblyman said, adding that he was also willing to improve transparency by putting the MPs attendance record on the Parliament websites.
On August 29, Johari was reportedly mulling the idea of docking the allowance of MPs if they were absent in Parliament during sessions as a way to deter absenteeism among the lawmakers. According to him, sometimes MPs are absent for days, but he does not have the authority to penalise them, although they are paid with RM500 daily allowances.
