KUALA LUMPUR: The attendance of MPs in the current parliamentary proceedings has generally been good, says Speaker Tan Sri Mohamad Arif Md Yusof.

“If you look at the attendance, the attendance has been good, particularly government MPs, as well as Opposition MPs."You can’t stay there four hours at a stretch, ” he said at the Parliament lobby on Thursday .

“Sometimes, it’s a matter of physical distance, work in Putrajaya and Parliament. So we have to be understanding. He added that MPs were always around the vicinity of Parliament and they would enter the house once the bell was rung.“Personally, I think there’s no need to over-react, particularly among the press and public because, as I said, we always had a quorum.At the same time, Mohamad Arif also claimed that durning proceedings that stretches into late night, the House always have enough quorum.
