Has Parliament met on short notice? — Hafiz Hassan

JUNE 22 — Parliament is generally recalled with a 28-day notice but it can dispense with such notice and convene for an emergency sitting. Parliamentary standing orders allow for the requirement to be set aside.

Under the Dewan Rakyat Standing Order 9, in cases of urgency as may be determined by the Speaker the 28-day notice may be dispensed with, and in that event “the longest notice possible shall be given.” File picture shows Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim delivering his speech during the second meeting of the third session of the 14th Parliament in Kuala Lumpur July 13, 2020. — Picture by Hari Anggara

As a matter of fact, it was former prime minister Najib Razak as the Leader of the Dewan Rakyat, who represented to the Speaker under Standing Order 11 that the public interest requires that the Dewan Rakyat should meet for a “special meeting” to debate a motion on the tragic downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17., as it was called then, was announced by Najib when he addressed the nation live on national television on the night of July 18, 2014. No date, however, was given.
