Editor's Note: An earlier copy of this article omitted to mention that Minister's Question Time had already been reduced to 5 minutes on Nov 5. The error is regretted.

The government has extended Minister's Question Time (MQT) in the Dewan Rakyat to 10 minutes, up from 5 minutes.

The extension is to allow ministers to reply in the Lower House instead of just giving a written reply that is uploaded online as was done during the 5 minute session...
