对于普通老百姓也应有机会看国会直播的建议,对此国会领袖傅海燕的新闻秘书声称,直播国会议事不一定能增加透明度,反而可能让国会变相成了“表演舞台”。 本月11日,有读者致函《今日报》,提倡即便普通群众都只是被动参与者,但也应让大家有机会去观察决策和立法的过程。“我们应有机会观看完整的国会议事、提问时的辩论火花、以及议员发表热情洋溢的演说。” 不过,傅海燕新闻秘书 Michele Khoo则在昨日(15日)回函,认为新加坡人希望他们的心声受到讨论和在国会得到回答,因此直播下,“公共表演的成分无可避免”。 她强调国会是认真议事的平台,国会辩论可以激烈但言辞需清醒,议员需应对议题和其复杂性,避免在国会中“装腔作势”。因此国会无意进行现场直播,而改变国会议事的氛围。 再者,她也重申要求直播的需求很低,而民众仍能上网观看仅稍微延迟上载的国会视频,这理应能确保透明度和问责。 本月5日,官委议员王丽婷和工人党非选区议员贝理安(Leon Perera),不约而同呼吁国会应进行直播,让民众也能理解和跟进国会针对疫情和其他重大政策的讨论。 不过傅海燕则指出,广播并不在此次宪法修正案的讨论事项。再者民众目前仍能以现有的方式,“即时、方便地”获取国会议事内容。
