Virtual parliament possible and needed in time of crisis

IT is heartening and assuring that Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has pledged that his administration will seek parliament approval for the emergency measures taken to preserve the economy against the Covid-19 pandemic.

The British government too will set up a virtual parliament to allow its members to scrutinise its response to the pandemic following calls by more than 100 MPs who signed an open letter for the creation of a “digital parliament”. Simply put, the speaker was calling on the government to allow a “virtual parliament” so MPs can take part in debates from home when the house returns to work on April 21.

Perhaps the Dewan Rakyat speaker can take a leaf out of Hoyle’s call. As the speaker is apolitical, his call should not be imputed with political motives.It is time to make that call.
