Speaker of Parliament Seah Kian Peng apologises for falling asleep while chairing parliamentary proceedings. He says he nods off during the session and takes responsibility for not meeting the expected standards of his role.

Seah explains that he was feeling unwell that day and had taken medication before or during the sitting. However, he also indicates that his illness and medication do not excuse the incident. The apology is shared through a Facebook post, with reporting from both outlets reflecting the same core account and his stance on accountability.
