KUALA LUMPUR: MPs have submitted a proposal for the Dewan Rakyat sitting to begin at 2pm instead of the current 10am, says Speaker Johari Abdul.
He said this was to enable the Cabinet ministers to carry out their respective administrative duties before attending the sitting.
Other proposals that he received included extending the Parliament session to between 100 and 110 days as well as having a more relaxed dress code for MPs, such as wearing formal suits without neckties.
He said a committee would be formed to look into these proposals.
“God willing, the first session of this term (15th Parliament) will take place in February,” he told a press conference at the Parliament building here today.
