(NST) DE FACTO law minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said a select committee could look into the recommendation of abolishing the quorum and voting by division requirements in Parliament.
The suggestion was made by Barisan Nasional Backbenchers Council (BNBBC) deputy chairman Datuk Bung Moktar Radin following the near defeat of BN's Budget 2010 last December."They can write to the speaker. But for now it is just a suggestion which was mentioned off-the cuff," he said after announcing the appointment of Sundra Rajoo as the director of the new Kuala Lumpur Regional Centre for Arbitration.
Nazri also welcomed a plan by Datuk Seri Zahrain Mohamed Hashim (Independent -- Bayan Baru) to set up a minority caucus made up of all independent MPs.
"I see them as a third force. They can criticise and support either the government or the opposition."
