Toh Chin Chye

7.34 p.m.

Dr Toh Chin Chye: Mr Speaker, Sir, I wish to move a motion to censure and suspend the Member for Hong Lim unless he apologises for certain misdemeanours committed in the Assembly.

I have waited for the Member for Hong Lim to be present in this Chamber to move this motion, but as he does not seem to be making an appearance here, although it is getting late, I wish to move the motion now.

The Chairman: I was just wondering whether the Leader of the House will make the request at 7.45 p.m. when we complete this debate. There are eight minutes more to go. This is Opposition time and perhaps we could give them eight minutes more.

Dr Toh Chin Chye: I do so agree.
