The Leader of the House (Mr Wong Kan Seng): Mr Speaker, Sir, point of order. I do not want the Minister for Transport to rush through his reply like a high-speed train. May I seek your consent and general assent of Members present to move that the proceedings on the item under discussion be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order No. 45(8), to remove the time limit to enable the Minister for Transport to finish his speech?

Mr Speaker: I give my consent. Does the Leader of the House have the general assent of hon. Members present to so move?

Hon. Members indicated assent.

Resolved,

That the proceedings on the item under discussion be exempted from the provisions of Standing Order No. 45(8) in respect of the Minister's speech. - [Mr Wong Kan Seng].
