"This should not have happened. The questions were submitted a while back and an answer should have been provided," said Kiandee.Ahmad Marzuk then asked if he could ask a supplementary question. "If she cannot answer the initial question, can she take a supplementary question from me at least," asked Ahmad Marzuk.At the Parliament lobby, Ahmad Marzuk expressed shock over the incident and said that such a situation had never happened before.
"As a deputy minister, she should come prepared, and not attend just to fulfil the seat quota on the other bench. "It is a waste of public funds to pay the salary of a deputy minister who cannot carry out her duties," he said, urging the Education and Deputy Education Ministers to resign for allegedly failing their basic duties.
