Dewan Rakyat Speaker: Reforms underway to strengthen parliamentary service
KUALA SELANGOR, May 7 — 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. The Act, passed by the Dewan Negara on March 20, establishes parliamentary service as a separate entity from the civil service and creates a Parliamentary Service Council to oversee appointments, finances, and training programmes. Johari revealed that Malaysia was adopting international best practices from the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand to modernise its parliamentary system. On the Youth Parliament initiative, he confirmed the Election Commission (EC) would assist in candidate selection processes, with seven campus-based political parties to be established nationwide to nurture future leaders. Standard operating procedures for the Youth Parliament registration are expected by September 2025. — Bernama

National TVET Council channels RM1 million to Unisel to strengthen TVET courses
BAGAN DATUK: The National Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Council has channelled RM1 million to Universiti Selangor (Unisel) to implement TVET-related courses aligned with current market demands. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the TVET courses offered at the university also promise attractive starting salaries, contributing to an improved standard of living for TVET graduates. 'Although the government has set the minimum wage at RM1,700, insya-Allah, TVET graduates, especially those from Unisel, will be able to earn a minimum salary of RM3,000, provided their courses align with current market demands,' he said. 'As chairman of the National TVET Council, I am confident that the six institutions under the Malaysian Technical University Network (MTUN) will continue to collaborate with industry players, to ensure that the courses offered are closely aligned with market demands,' he said. He said this in his speech at the Bagan Datuk Raya Carnival, held in conjunction with the Unisel Malaysia MADANI Tour, organised in collaboration with the Bagan Datuk parliamentary office at the Bagan Datuk Waterfront, here, today. Also present were Unisel's vice president and deputy vice chancellor (Student Development and Community Engagement), Associate Professor Dr Hamdan Mohd Salleh. Earlier, Ahmad Zahid, who is also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development, officiated the Rural Transformation Initiative (INTRADE) Submodule, involving 119 Administrative and Diplomatic Officer (PTD) cadets, at the Dewan Armada Utama, Politeknik Bagan Datuk. The programme is one of the initiatives under the Postgraduate Diploma in Public Management (DPA) programme, organised by the National Institute of Public Administration (INTAN) for the 2024/2025 session. According to the Public Service Department, the programme reflects the MADANI Government's commitment to empowering the people, through rural development initiatives rooted in the values of well-being, with a focus on balancing physical and social development.
