Point of Order

Mr Speaker: Questions for oral answer.

11.00 am

Mr Leong Mun Wai (Non-Constituency Member): Point of Order, Sir.

Mr Speaker: Yes, Mr Leong.

Mr Leong Mun Wai: Speaker, Sir, can I know the reasons why the eight Questions on our sovereign fund was put almost towards the end of the question queue today? Which means, the questions will not be answered orally today, probably.

Mr Speaker: Mr Leong, I believe the Leader has spoken to the Leader of the Opposition. Members of Parliament (MPs) have filed questions about the FTX situation: some are for oral answer today, while some are up for oral answer tomorrow. I have discussed this with the Leader of the House. Given the volume of business for this Sitting, we will be sitting until Wednesday, 30 November 2022. I think it is best that all the FTX questions be answered holistically by the Government on Wednesday. This will allow other Parliamentary Questions (PQs) to be cleared and I will allocate sufficient time on Wednesday for the FTX PQs and supplementary questions to be answered fully.

I suggest that Members who do not receive an oral answer to the FTX questions today or tomorrow postpone the questions to Wednesday.

Mr Leong Mun Wai: Thank you, Speaker.
