PUTRAJAYA, June 3 — The Cabinet has agreed in principle to three matters under the proposed parliamentary reform, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.
Among the matters to be studied are the proposals to set up a Parliamentary Services Scheme and obtain financial resources and an annual budget for Parliament from the Consolidated Fund regulated by the Parliamentary Services Commission itself, in line with the principle of separation of powers. He said the act was formulated in 1952 as the House of Parliament Ordinance 1952 and amended in 1953 before it was enforced in the same year. Then in 1988, a review was made to change the ordinance into the existing Act 347.Act 347 concerns the powers and privileges of the House of Parliament, the freedom to speak and debate in House proceedings, and protection of people hired for the service of broadcasting papers of the House.
Wan Junaidi said he suggested that the Code of Ethics for Members of Parliament be drawn up, which is different from the provisions of the House of Parliament Standing Orders.
