KUALA LUMPUR — The Parliamentary Service Council (MPP) is on track to become fully operational by the end of the year, the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat announced on Monday. The council has been established to manage the administrative autonomy of Parliament and ensure the legislative body operates independently from executive interference.
The creation of the MPP marks a significant institutional development for Malaysia's parliamentary system. The council will handle administrative functions and financial matters previously managed through other channels, consolidating oversight under a dedicated body.
The establishment of the council aligns with efforts to strengthen parliamentary institutions and enhance the separation of powers. By centralizing administrative oversight, the council is expected to improve operational efficiency and ensure Parliament can function with greater autonomy.
The Dewan Rakyat Speaker's confirmation of the December timeline indicates steady progress in the council's setup phase. Officials have been working to establish governance structures, staffing arrangements, and operational protocols ahead of the full launch.
