Ibrahim Durum has failed as the Malacca State Assembly Speaker in frivolously allowing the four-day Malacca Assembly to be shortened to one day when Malacca had the second lowest daily new Covid-19 cases since Polling Day on 20th November and no Covid-19 death on Dec. 27, 2021

Ibrahim Durum has failed as the Malacca State Assembly Speaker in frivolously allowing the four-day Malacca State Assembly to be shortened to one day when Malacca had the second lowest daily new Covid-19 cases since Polling Day on November 20 and no Covid-19 death on Dec. 27, 2021.

The Malacca State Assembly Speaker should not have allowed the Malacca Chief Minister, Sulaiman Md Ali to move the motion to shorten the State Assembly from four days to one day on the ground that four Malacca State Assemblymen did not attend because they were tested positive for Covid-19 while three other assemblymen were absent after coming into close contact with those who had tested positive.

I agree with the DAP Malacca State Assemblyman for Ayer Keroh, Kerk Chee Yee, that these were not sufficient reasons for cutting short the special meeting of the Malacca Assembly to one day, as the state administration should have taken efforts to ensure that the legislative body is not compromised by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This is all the more compelling when throughout 2021, there has been only one (normal) sitting held.

Ibrahim Durum telah gagal sebagai Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka apabila beliau secara sembrono memendekkan sidang DUN Melaka daripada empat hari kepada sehari semasa Melaka mencatatkan kadar jangkitan harian kedua terendah dengan sifar kematian sejak Hari Mengundi 20 November lepas

Ibrahim Durum telah gagal sebagai Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka apabila beliau secara sembrono memendekkan sidang DUN Melaka daripada empat hari kepada sehari semasa Melaka mencatatkan kadar jangkitan harian kedua terendah dengan sifar kematian pada 27 Disember 2021 untuk tempoh sejak Hari Mengundi 20 November lepas.

Speaker Dewan Undangan Negeri Melaka tersebut tidak sepatutnya membenarkan Ketua Menteri Melaka, Sulaiman Md Ali untuk membawa usul untuk memendekkan sidang DUN daripada empat hari kepada sehari atas alasan empat orang Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri tidak dapat hadir kerana telah dijangkiti Covid-19 manakala tiga orang lagi perlu menjalani kuarantin selepas menjadi kontak rapat.

Saya bersetuju dengan ADUN DAP Ayer Keroh, Kerk Chee Yee, yang perkara ini bukanlah alasan yang cukup kuat untuk memendekkan sidang khas DUN Melaka kepada sehari, memandangkan pentadbiran kerajaan negeri sebaliknya perlu mengambil tindakan untuk memastikan badan perundangan negeri tidak terjejas akibat wabak Covid-19.

Perkara ini lebih menonjol apabila sepanjang tahun 2021, terdapat hanya satu sidang (biasa) yang diadakan.
