PETALING JAYA: The Dewan Rakyat Speaker has the prerogative to allow proceedings to be publicly aired and it is not true that Parliamentary Standing Orders do not allow open proceedings, says Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman Wong Kah Woh.
Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun had told The Star on Sunday (Jan 16) that the upcoming Wednesday (Jan 19) meeting to discuss the share trading controversy involving Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki would not be open to the public.
