• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not saying it is very exciting to have the hon. Member for Othaya in this Assembly. Looking at the amendments, the whole intention was to give the Senate some teeth, knowing that some of you would want to go the Senate so that you do not end up in a toothless Chamber. But judging on the basis that the devolution in terms of provincial governments, which are proposed, do not have the constitutional foundation, I wish to withdraw the amendment. Mr. Speaker: Hon.
