  "summary": "The Dewan Rakyat has approved a motion to appoint four lawmakers, including Takiyuddin Hassan and Ronald Kiandee, to the first Parliamentary Service Council established under the Parliamentary Service Act 2025. The council was formed to bring institutional reform and restore structural independence to Malaysia’s legislative branch, reversing a 33-year arrangement where Parliament’s administration, staffing, and budget were under the Prime Minister’s Department. The council comprises both government and opposition lawmakers, with the Committee of Selection responsible for nominating members, as per Section 3(2)(f) of the Act and Standing Order 76 of the Dewan Rakyat.",
