Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, who issued the letter dated Feb 25 and received by ministers and MPs today, noted that lawmakers from both side of the House tended to ask long-winded supplementary questions some of which veered off the context of the original question. Pandikar also reminded ministers to keep their answers short and straight to the point. "The end effect is that the meeting is disrupted and precious time is wasted in debating, in my opinion, trivial issues. The limited time available should be used to discuss matters that are of importance to the people," he said. Supplementary questions should only be questions on given answers. About 70-75 questions are cued for oral answers daily from 10am to 11.30am, but usually an average of 12 questions with two supplementary questions each are answered while written replies are sent to those whose questions not answered.
