Indranee Rajah on debate on motions by Hazel Poa on S Iswaran
The motions by NCMP Hazel Poa on “Consideration of Matters Regarding Member of Parliament” and “Suspension of Member” will be taken together. Debate on these motions and on any amendment proposed will proceed simultaneously as though the debate were on a single motion. Leader of the House Indranee Rajah told Parliament on Tuesday (Sep 19) that these two motions deal with the same topic in so far as Minister S Iswaran is concerned. Debate on them as a single motion will allow the issues raised to be considered holistically and for more efficient conduct of Parliamentary business. She said it is only the debate that is concurrent. The motions remain as two separate motions. At the end of the debate, the votes on the two motions will be taken separately. The House voted in favour of the move.
