KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim described the implementation of the Parliamentary Services Act 2025 as a key step by the MADANI Government towards fulfilling its reform pledge to the people, including limiting powers traditionally held by the government.
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has revealed that the Madani government has fulfilled its promise to bolster Parliament's independence through the Parliamentary Services Act 2025. The legislation signifies a significant milestone in the government's institutional reform agenda, which Anwar considers a cornerstone of the Madani government's reforms.
The act limits executive powers traditionally held by the government, demonstrating the government's political determination to strengthen parliamentary democracy. Anwar acknowledged that Malaysia's parliamentary system had long favored the government, but the restoration of parliamentary autonomy reflects the government's commitment to strengthening democratic institutions after decades of restrictions.
The reforms are expected to enhance the quality and decorum of parliamentary debates, requiring cooperation between government and opposition MPs. Anwar also congratulated four MPs on their appointments to the Parliamentary Service Council.
