MPs can debate PAC report at next dewan meeting, says speaker

Members of Parliament can raise issues arising from the final report of the Public Accounts Committee on 1MDB in the coming Dewan Rakyat meeting from May 16, said speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia.

“The PAC has done its job. Now, it is up to the ‘majlis’ (MPs) to consider what has been reported. MPs who want to raise issues can do so at the next meeting,” he told reporters at the Parliament lobby.

The PAC today tabled the 1MDB Governance Management Control Report in the Dewan Rakyat.

Asked if a special sitting is necessary to debate the report, Pandikar said: “No such thing as special debate. The special debate under Standing Order 18. This is an ongoing matter. Once the PAC has tabled (the report), anyone can issue statements... it is not against the law.”
