KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 11 — The Malaysian Parliament, which turns 62 today, will undergo a transformation, thus elevating its position as the country’s highest legislative body.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob’s announcement on the transformation of the Parliament and the government’s administration ahead of the Malaysian Parliament’s anniversary is like a ‘gift’ to the country, which is facing various challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Describing the transformation as offering a positive impact to the country’s political landscape, a political analyst, Prof Dr Sivamurugan Pandian, of Universiti Sains Malaysia, said it would further nurture the parliamentary democracy system in Malaysia.
