KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang tops the list of MPs with the highest absenteeism records from Dewan Rakyat sittings, according to Calmic's Malaysian MP Dashboard.

The attendance rate was tallied based on Parliament records.

The PAS president and Marang MP had an attendance rate of just 29.8%, or 67 out of 225 days.

Second on the list was Deputy Prime Minister and Bagan MP Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, with an attendance rate of 30.2% from 68 out of 225 days.

In third place was Sembrong MP Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, who recorded an attendance of 36.4% having attended 82 days.

Aside from Abdul Hadi and Hishamuddin, other MPs who made up the list were either Cabinet members or state leaders.

If parliament also lazy to attend. Guaranteed they already forgotten their voters. Pity those voters still think they are their good leader. LoL.

Attendance candat sotong full...

This is all duniawi... wasting taxpayers' money n not fully representing his area is ok...

- lobai

225 meeting yearly?too much of shouting

i said many times, he goes to ijn more than he goes to parlimen

if the voters are smart, they would want to be represented in parlimen with an active mp who will take care of their needs. but who are we kidding

They vote him for his holiness, buat kerja is optional.

so nice got stupid supporters like this

His absense or presence did little anyway to the running of this country. His other peers in the cabinet also spewed nonsense,waste precious parlimen session/time , despite better attendance record.

its the makan gaji buta part thats absolutely against teachings of Islam. Wastage is a sin.

You guys noticed that other than Bawang, there is one notable absentee? The others have ministerial and states to manage, but he...... baik tak payah.

Actually 225 meeting a year isnt that a bit too excessive? It's like every working day also kena hadir parliament.

The kucing can also make better decisions

or things could be an email

bawang don’t know how to use email

dik, that's the job these ppl signed up for. but seems voters also don't care whether the ppl they elected give a phak anot. if like that better revert to zaman warlords je, voting for what?

tak mai, then takde allowance laa ...

Ironman still have good attendance… bravo !

seems like many also following their idola. mc all the time

thats why they have massive allowance, fuel cards, hotels, entertainment etc

to get their asses from all over peninsula so they can be the voice of their people in parliament

so he wont be absent in hell

Wtf? They even have allowance just to go to work?

https://www.nst.com.my/amp/news/nation/2025...th-pmo-explains

best example of pipu with gaji buta

vote him as PM ,hope he can full attendance

Vote him as PM so we all can work 3 days per week.

Other low attendance understand lar especially those with ministry post.

He got no ministry post, nor state ministry post too.
He got very active jalan jalan in his area ar?
If not, really tidur at home so much?

Parliament MP should be attending debating regarding country direction and law pass. It their job.

Should pass a law any attendance below certain % cannot run for next election. Only with valid reason like those got ministry post or with sudden serious sickness can bypass this law.
Anyway, need to make a prerequisite all potential MP must pass basic medical test before contest in election. Old and nyanyuk candidate should retire and take a rest and give those able to lead the country

his loyal supporters will say this is fake news

puas don’t give a shit about anything

The speaker already ask the MP to conduct health test.

https://www.nst.com.my/amp/news/nation/2025...cks-or-be-named

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2025...ps-says-speaker

Better do mental health tests also

rilek lu sap kok

Why not? The sultan of Selangor has a huge painting of monkeys in parliament some time back! 😎😎😎😎😎

makang gaji buta

Lu jgn tanya soalan yg susah ya!
#Janji.ada.Mesili.ipad&iPhone dan kini, LV!

Hence that’s why you have deputy minister to attend parliament whilst the minister attend other official matters. At least must ensure the ministry is represented at all times during parliament in session.

Holy crap! I didn't know MP got this kind of perk some more. Bersangka baik, he is trying to reduce our country financial burden by not going to Parliament since it will cost tax payer money :lol2:

See from those with perfect attendances only one or two got any titles

Conclusion: vote someone without any Datuk, Dato Seri, Tan Sri etc next time

It is really messed up and will never change
