New MPs upbeat about duties

Bernama (28/4/08): New members of parliament (MPs) are upbeat about their duties.

Lenggong MP Datuk Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said he would defend government policies.

"This is the best opportunity for the MPs to speak in the interest of the people," he told reporters after the swearing-in ceremony here Monday.

Labis MP Chua Tee Yong hoped to pick up the tricks of the trade from senior MPs by mingling with them on his first day in parliament.

"Initially, I'll observe the sitting especially the question-and-answer session before taking part in the debate," he said.

For Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar, she would use the sitting of parliament to voice out the grouses of her constituents.

"I'm ready to carry out the task entrusted on me. I will also raise issues affecting the younger generation and the need to improve the systems," she said.

Titiwangsa MP Dr Lo'Lo Mohamad Ghazali said besides focusing on women's issues, she would also highlight the need to address urban poverty.
