Malaysia youth parliament to boost leadership with new reforms
SEREMBAN: The Malaysia Youth Parliament (PBMy) will undergo significant policy and system reforms to enhance youth leadership development, said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Dr Johari Abdul. He emphasised that PBMy plays a crucial role in shaping future leaders by deepening their understanding of parliamentary democracy and preparing them for modern socio-political challenges. One major reform under discussion is increasing PBMy membership to 222, matching the number of Dewan Rakyat seats for better structural alignment. Johari stated, 'Other proposed reforms include the use of a Proportional Representation system through the Closed Party List method for selecting representatives; and implementing the entire process online — from voter registration, party formation and registration, to voting.' Additionally, leadership training modules will be strengthened in phases to cultivate dynamic and principled future leaders. Johari highlighted these updates during the Malaysia Youth Parliament 2025 Guidebook Workshop, attended by PBMy advisory chairman Tan Sri Borhan Dolah and Malaysian Parliament chief administrator Datuk Ahmad Husaini Abdul Rahman. Citing an Inter-Parliamentary Union report, Johari noted that only 0.9 per cent of Dewan Rakyat members are under 30, underscoring the need for initiatives like PBMy to bridge the youth representation gap. The workshop gathered stakeholders from government agencies, academia, and civil society to develop a comprehensive guidebook for the programme. - Bernama

Parliamentary Services Act 2025 receives royal assent
SEREMBAN: The Parliamentary Services Act 2025 (PSA) has received royal assent from His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, paving the way for parliament to operate as an independent entity, said Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Dr Johari Abdul. He said the effective date of implementation of the Act will be announced soon by the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said. "Alhamdulillah, this morning I was informed by the Dewan Rakyat secretary that His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim has signed the PSA. This means parliament will now exist as an independent entity. "Parliament will convene on July 21, and I will be discussing with the minister (Azalina) to set the official date for the enforcement of this Act," he told reporters after opening the Malaysia Youth Parliament (PBMy) 2025 Guidebook Enhancement Workshop at Klana Resort Seremban today. Also present were PBMy advisory chairman Tan Sri Borhan Dolah, Malaysian parliament chief administrator Datuk Ahmad Husaini Abdul Rahman and 50 participants from various implementing agencies nationwide. Johari explained that the implementation of the PSA will allow parliament to function without being bound by instructions from the executive. "Alhamdulillah, this is the fruit of a long journey. This Act is the result of strong collaboration between the opposition and the government, both of which gave it their full support," he said. On March 5 this year, the Dewan Rakyat passed the Parliamentary Services Bill 2025, granting parliament autonomy to determine its own policies and governance for the first time in 33 years. The passing of the bill marked a major milestone in the institutional reform efforts championed by the Madani Government, aiming to restore the country's administration through the enactment of legislation that enables parliament to function as a truly independent and sovereign institution. The original Parliamentary Services Act was introduced in 1963 but was repealed in 1992. Johari also said the PBMy is expected to be implemented in June next year, and the secretariat is formulating its implementation policy, including planning, ICT system development, selection of PBMy members and leadership strengthening programmes. – BERNAMA
