Nov 06, 2020, 01:56 AM
From tomorrow until December 15th, Dewan Rakyat sessions will be limited to only 80 MPs at any one time -- 41 from the Government, and 39 from the Opposition. Sessions during this sitting will also be reduced to half a day -- from 10am until 2pm. According to the Speaker of the House, these measures are to curb the spread of Covid-19. Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to lawyer New Sin Yew.
