MPs who didn’t utter a word in Parliament?

February 5, 2013

Former Minister never speak?

I searched the Parliamentary records
http://www.parliament.gov.sg/publications-singapore-parliament-reports
for “Mah Bow Tan” for the Parliamentary sittings of the 12th Parliament, since the last general elections in 2011, and could not find anything that was said by him.

So, does this mean that he did not say anything in Parliament over the last one and a half years or so?

NCMP spoke 82 times?

For the purpose of comparision, I searched “Lina Chiam” which returned 82 results.

Former Minister spoke once only?

I searched “Wong Kan Seng” and found only one result.

Are there any other MPs who didn’t say, or hardly said anything too?
