¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank the Hon. Member for raising this timely issue. I request a short period to provide a comprehensive answer, for two reasons. I will submit a thorough response. After the question was raised, all relevant State officials remained in Parliament yesterday until about 4.30–5.00 p.m. to assist. I have also called for a full report from the Hajj Committee. Therefore, I seek two weeks to provide a proper, complete reply.

¶ 02 Thank you.
