Letter: Why more than three-quarter of MPs absent from Parliamentary sesson? - Chong Foo Sin

Today Online, 13 Jul 2012
It was reported in "LTA's role under scrutiny" (July 10) that the Land Transport Authority of Singapore (Amendment) Bill was not passed when the debate ended, as fewer than a quarter of members were present in Parliament.
I understand that many of our Members of Parliament have full-time jobs or that our Ministers may need to attend to important commitments. However, something is wrong when fewer than a quarter were present at the end of the debate.
Are our MPs showing respect to Parliament, their fellow MPs and their supporters? Link
