    "content": "member of another committee… I would want to remember my brother Nooru who is now campaigning to be a member of EALA. He used to be the chair of the committee on agriculture where I served; but he also used to be a member of PIC together with my brother Ichung’wah who I have not seen of late. He used to be a member of the agriculture committee and vice-chair of PIC. So you would find they would choose whichever PIC meeting they would attend and whichever agriculture committee meeting to attend. We are saying this time that, if you are a chair of a committee you must stick to your committee. That is what we are proposing. That proposal will benefit both the Member and the House, so that we have institutional memory which will be useful when writing reports which will eventually end up on this Floor. I do not want to belabour the point. All has been said and you have also emphasised. It is clear that there is no need for members of the PSC to be chair or vice-chair of any committee. Therefore, I do not want to take a lot of time in trying to support this Motion. When you proposed the Question, some Members were even proposing that you put the Question. It is true Members have been reading the Supplementary Order Paper and they find that these proposals are very clear and they are going to help us have an orderly House. Once we approve the Motion, for those Members who are not sure, you can come so that we compare notes, especially those on the Majority side, so that if there is anything that is not clear on the Order Paper, because it just came in when we were sitting, we can see how best we tackle it. Otherwise, Hon. Speaker, I wish to support."
