KUALA SELANGOR — Several reform initiatives are underway to strengthen Malaysia’s Parliament as an autonomous institution following the recent passage of the Parliamentary Services Act 2025 in March, says Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul.

Key measures being implemented include adequate staffing, facility upgrades, and the institutionalisation of 10 Parliamentary Special Select Committees, with Johari anticipating completion 14 months ahead of the 24-month implementation period.

“We’re currently working towards these goals,” he told reporters after a dialogue session with Universiti Selangor (Unisel) student leaders at the Unisel Bestari Jaya campus yesterday.

The event was also attended by Unisel Vice-Chancellor Prof Emeritus Datuk Dr Muhammad Redzuan Othman, who is a Senator.
