DATUK Seri Azalina Othman Said (BN-Pengerang) highlighted the absence of ministers in the House during the ongoing debate on the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP).

       “We should not talk about the 12th Malaysian Plan if we forget that Malaysians need us MPs as their eyes and ears in Parliament.

       “I’m not angry or against the government, but I want the people who voted for us to be given priority,” the former deputy speaker said yesterday.

       Azalina is believed to be referring to Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Rina Harun during her speech, when she spoke on Special Criminal Court on Sexual Crimes Against Children.
