If you are a Member of Parliament and you are lazy to attend the sitting, why did you asked to be elected as MP in the first place?
Pemalas punya MP!
Quorum almost not met
THE Dewan Rakyat was thrown into temporary limbo and narrowly risked being adjourned prematurely due to insufficient quorum.
Many MPs from both sides were either away attending the Umno general assembly or the Selangor state legislative assembly sitting. This was highlighted by Sim Tong Him (DAP-Kota Melaka) who pointed out to Deputy Speaker Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar that there were not enough MPs in the House.
M. Kulasegaran (DAP-Ipoh Barat), also pointed out that Standing Order 13 (1) stated the quorum of the House must consist of 26 MPs excluding the Chair.
The bell was rung for two minutes after Sim raised the standing order to call for quorum.
MPs were seen streaming into the House and Junaidi then announced that the Dewan met the quorum “by the skin of its teeth” with exactly 26 MPs in attendance.
“I am disappointed. Where is our responsibility towards the Dewan? I congratulate Betong (Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Douglas Uggah Embas) for being here.
“Where are the other non-Umno ministers and deputy ministers?” he questioned.
He then advised all MPs to come to Parliament by 9.45am.
“Let this be a lesson for all of us. The responsibility of meeting the quorum in the House lies with all of us,” Junaidi said.
However, as several MPs were seen leaving the House after the quorum was met, Junaidi asked them not to exit the Dewan.
“Sit inside (the Dewan) with me. Quorum can be called anytime. This is the last day of sitting. I have to do my work,” he said. Debates resumed shortly afterwards.

Angry goldsmith shop worker splashes acid on robber
Quick thinking by a dedicated employee!
MALACCA (17-3-2013): A furious employee of a goldsmith shop splashed corrosive fluid on an armed robber who was fleeing with three others after a heist at the shop in Taman Sri Duyong here.
In reaction, the robber hastily fired a shot as he rushed out of the shop. Another random shot was fired to scare off passers-by as the four armed men fled on two motorcycles.
An acid-laced glove and two bullet casings were later found by policemen investigating the 11.30am robbery yesterday.
State Crime Investigation chief Asst Comm Raja Shahrom Raja Abdullah said that any clinic or hospital where a patient had sought treatment for acid burns should alert the police immediately.
There were no other casualties and the losses incurred in the robbery had yet to be determined.
From initial investigations and CCTV footage, ACP Raja Shahrom said based on their size and movement, the men were estimated to be below the age of 30.
