Analysis has showed first-term MP Lawrence Xu Nan has spoken more in Parliament than any other MP this term.

The Sunday Star Times says the Green MP has said 420,000 words, more than four times the 102,000 word average. 

Xu Nan says the job of MPs as part of Parliament is to do two things - scrutinise bills and legislation, and budgets. 

"I think that everyone should hold this ability to scrutinise things dear to their heart."
