Implementing 'prime minister's question time' in Parliament would likely be a huge boon for opposition MPs, who would then be able to drown Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak with their many, many queries.

Kinabatangan MP Bung Moktar Radin however believes the premier will be unfazed by them.

"We are not worried (about the opposition), because the prime minister knows how to answer," he told Malaysiakini .

Besides answering questions, Bung believes the segment may also help Najib "reduce (negative) perception on the social media."

Dewan Rakyat speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia on Tuesday reiterated his aspiration to implementing a prime minister's question time session in Parliament, based on the Australian model.

In the land down under, the segment requires the Australian prime minister to answer MPs' queries during question time each day Parliament is in session.

Nazri: Burden to PM

Tourism and Culture Minister Nazri Abdul Aziz however has mixed feelings about the proposal.

While he believes question time will be part of the natural progression in Malaysia's parliamentary democracy, Nazri thinks the timing isn't quite right.

"It is going to burden him (Najib) further as he already has so much on his hands as politics in Malaysia is very demanding.

"Plus, you can't say much in reply and accuracy in such a short time. MPs may come out of (question time) unhappy," he said when contacted.

He believes the best way to get answers from the prime minister in Parliament for now, at least, is still through written replies.

Najib is currently under intense pressure to explain various scandals involving himself and his brainchild 1MDB.

The prime minister however has had a terrible attendance record at the august house.

Last year, Bakri MP Er Teck Hwa revealed that Najib attended Parliament only 26 out of 358 days from the day he became prime minister in 2009 up till June 17, 2014.
