• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, because we are now about to vote, I want to request the Chair to kindly re-invite the hon. Keynan to explain something which is not clear to us.

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have a serious difficulty with what we are about to do. If we delete Clause 67, I would like hon.
