The prime minister should not “hide” behind his blog but instead have a proper session in Parliament to answer MP’s questions, said a DAP parliamentarian.
Taiping MP Nga Kor Ming said while speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia has proposed several suggestions to improve the Dewan, what was sorely missing was a ‘Prime Minister Question’ (PMQ) session.
“Instead of hiding behind blogs to answer pressing issues, Najib should push for parliamentary reform and implement a PMQ session during the parliament proceedings,” he said in a statement today.
Last Sunday after fierce rounds of criticisms from former PM Dr Mahathir Mohamad and a call for a public debate, Najib finally broke his elegant silence and responded in a lengthy series of frequently asked questions (FAQ) on his blog.
However, Mahathir pointed out that the FAQs, which targeted criticisms such as the murder of Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu and the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) scandal, “didn't answer anything”.
