Lee said report cards are needed not only to show their attendance but determine how many times they have raised questions and issues. — Picture by Shafwan ZaidonKUCHING, Oct 9 — The frequent absence of MPs during Dewan Rakyat sittings undermines the democratic process and deprives the people of their right to have their voices heard, says Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye.
“Report cards are needed not only to show their attendance, but also to determine how many times they have raised questions and issues,” he said in a statement, adding that it is common knowledge that some MPs would be present in Parliament only when their questions are scheduled to come up.“Many a time, the parliamentary whips have to go to the canteen and urge the MPs to come back to the session to ensure that the quorum is met to pass a Bill.
“If they consistently skip the sessions, the constituents have the right to know so that they would not waste their votes in the next elections. They have the right to know and question their elected representatives who fail to attend Parliament session without any justifiable reasons.
