Parliamentary Service Council gains bipartisan support as autonomy is restored, marking a significant step in Malaysia's parliamentary democracy. In a unanimous decision, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim proposed the appointment of two government MPs and two opposition lawmakers to the council, which was approved by the Dewan Rakyat.
The council, established under Section 3(2)(f) of the Parliamentary Services Act 2025, aims to restore administrative autonomy to the legislature after a 34-year gap following the repeal of the previous law in 1992. The appointed members include Ramkarpal Singh and Hasni Mohammad from the government, and Dr Ronald Kiandee and Takiyuddin Hassan from the opposition.
This development is critical in strengthening the institution's independence and role in Malaysia's political landscape.
