Delay to afternoon sitting in Dewan Rakyat as only 19 MPs present

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 21 — The afternoon sitting for the Dewan Rakyat today started late as only 19 MPs were present at 2.30pm.

As Deputy Speaker Datuk Mohd Rashid Hasnon was about to restart debate on the royal address, Rasah MP Cha Kee Chin highlighted the lack of quorum in the House. “I can see that there might not be 26 MPs seated inside, Deputy Speaker, please ask for the secretary to check on this, especially among backbenchers, the ministers and their deputy ministers.Rashid then ordered the Parliament sergeant-at-arms to count the number of MPs present and was shortly informed there were fewer than 26.“I will ask for the bell to be rung to call all MPs to enter to make sure we have enough quorum,” Rashid said.
