Previously, I had collated the Parliament record attendance since 2011 until 2013 and revealed that Fatimah Lateef, Jessica Tan, Mah Bow Tan, Masagos, Irene Ng and Zaqy Mohd to be AWOL champions when it comes to parliamentary debates.

It has been said that all Ministers pay more attention to news on TRS as we tend to expose more dirty secrets about PAP than SPH or Mediacorp.
Since 2014, I have collated the data through Parliament Votes and Proceeding.
Click on http://www.parliament.gov.sg/publications/votes-and-proceedings12th (which I hope is correct as I may have missed out).
So far, opposition MPs have the perfect attendance record.
However, I will like to add that this attendance is not flawless.
Attendance for Parliament is usually taken at the start of the session at 1pm.
I believe that there are more AWOL champions who sneak out for coffee breaks at 3pm after they have their attendance marked. These are unreported in the Attendance record.
For full transparency and accountability, attendance needs to be taken on a 2 hourly basis to ensure that all PAP MPs need to stay for the full 5 to 6 hour sessions.
One piece of evidence is when WP Dennis Tan spoke up about AWOL Champions.
He revealed that around 6pm, he was at the Parliament public gallery. There were only 27 PAP MPs present who can vote for the Public Transport Bill and the Deputy Speaker had to postpone until tomorrow as there weren't enough MPs to pass the bill.

And for those who stay in Tampines, Mah Bow Tan has AWOLed for a total of 9 times in 2014 and Irene Ng, 6 Times AWOL in 2014.
Perhaps Zaqy Mohd, Masagos, Fatimah Lateef, Jessica Tan have read my TRS article and decided to wake up and attend Parliament religiously. For for those unrepentant PAP MPs such as Mah Bow Tan and Irene Ng, Tampines residents deserve better leadership than you.
Dr Chee Soon Juan would trade his own kidney just to have your AWOL seat in Parliament.
