KUALA LUMPUR: MPs will no longer be compelled to wear face masks when they are speaking in the House, said Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun. "Based on risk assessment, the Health Ministry is of the opinion that face masks are allowed to be removed during debates. "But, MPs are advised to quickly wear back their face masks after delivering their speeches." Last Monday (Oct 4), several MPs had asked to be allowed to deliver their speeches without wearing face masks. Some argued that MPs struggled to breathe when they delivered their speeches while wearing face masks in the House.
