The Dewan Rakyat was off to a false start this morning after the House realised there weren't enough MPs present.
The day started with the customary ringing of the bell at 10am as a signal for MPs to enter the House, followed by prayer.
As soon as the prayer session finished, Hasan Baharom (Tampin - Harapan) was invited to pose the first question during Question Time.
However, Abdul Rahman Mohamad (Lipis - BN) interjected. "Standing Order. I see that there is not enough quorum".
Dewan Rakyat speaker Mohamad Ariff Md Yusof then proceeded to count the number of MPs in the House.
"There are only 24... sound the bell again," he said. The Dewan Rakyat needs 26 MPs to proceed with its session.
The 26th MP to enter the House was newly-minted Tanjung Piai MP Wee Jeck Seng.
The bell was rung for almost three minutes, after which there were a total of 28 MPs in the House.
