It is not a news that Members of Parliament have the access to internet in the Dewan, which could explain their staggering ability of understanding by heart few thousands topics to be debated. Some of them go as far as Facebook to update their followers (which in Facebook called 'friends') and for the advanced, Twitter.
I am the biggest skeptic when it comes to politicians' involvement in social networking. I wonder how it actually works, and who was actually doing all the typings and signing-ins. Of course the words came from the politicians themselves, but who actually did ramble through the politicians' pictures and pick one for their profile pictures?
Does it tell something about a politician's style and persona if he sticks to old-fashioned boring mugshot of him wearing formal jacket? Do they want to give an idea that he is a formal and serious person? Is that how they want to be presented socially, social-networkingly speaking?
I don't blame them totally, because on the internet, everyone wants to become somebody else.

Ha ha of course I am kidding.
P.S. I've never seen any MPs referring to a certain laptop while presenting their points in UK Parliament. They don't have much space to even bring extra paper folder, just looking at the way they sit themselves. However, they make more interesting meeting than what we have in Malaysia, which is more a cage for a fight than an intellectual discourse to fix the nation.
