SUNGAI PETANI: Parliament sittings should be telecast either live or delayed to enable the rakyat (citizenry) to follow proceedings, Sungai Petani MP Johari Abdul said.
“We want the public to know what the MPs speak on and how they conduct themselves,” said the PKR (Parti Keadilan Rakyat).
He said it was time for Malaysia to allow such telecast as happens in other countries.
He said he would make such proposal when the parliament convenes next month.
Johari said allowing rakyat to follow through the sittings would make MPs more accountable and serve the people better in their respective constituencies.
“The move will surely benefit everyone,” he said in an interview.
