Editing Question time (section)

===Singapore===

Each day that the [[Parliament of Singapore|Parliament]] of Singapore sits has the first one and a half hours of the meeting allocated to Question Time. MPs submit questions in advance, and only questions listed on the Order Paper for the sitting day may be dealt with during Question Time.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sitting of Parliament |url=https://www.parliament.gov.sg/about-us/parliament-information/sitting-of-parliament |website=www.parliament.gov.sg |publisher=Parliament of Singapore |access-date=8 February 2023}}</ref> Questions which are not dealt with during the sitting may be "rolled over" to another sitting day, or answered in writing. After a question is answered orally in Parliament, MPs may raise supplementary questions. According to [[Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore|Speaker]] [[Tan Chuan-Jin]], the sequencing of questions for Question Time is entirely at the Speaker's discretion: "As Speaker, I will decide the sequence of PQs on the Order Paper for a Sitting. No strict formula is involved, other than exercising reasonable judgement." Describing his approach to presiding over Question Time, Tan has said: "I will be permissive and expansive where possible to optimise productive exchanges. For instance, after the Minister’s verbal reply, I will let MPs continue asking Supplementary Questions (SQs) for further clarifications. I will remind both front and back benches to say more with less, so that as many MPs who wish to ask SQs can do so." He has called the tone of Singaporean Question Time "more measured" compared to similar proceedings in other countries.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Chew |first1=Hui Min |title=Minding your PQs: What's Question Time in Parliament and why should you care? |url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/singapore-parliament-question-time-mps-speaker-1353011 |access-date=8 February 2023 |work=CNA |date=9 May 2021 |language=en}}</ref>
