For junior bankers using AI to help draft their resumes: Recruitment firms are on to you.
KUALA LUMPUR: Some 70% of Parliament staff disagree with the Parliament ary Services Bill 2025 that is set to allow Parliament to recruit its own staff, among others, claims Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.
Hamzah claimed he was informed of this by former Dewan Rakyat speaker Tan Sri Azhar Azizan Harun, popularly known as Art Harun.“If you want to do something for the benefit of staff, it’s not this way. We need to look at their futures too,” he told a press conference at the Parliament media centre here on Thursday .“This is not like a government-linked company which has different pay scales and benefits,” he said.
Hamzah also chided Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said’s statement saying that amendments to the Parliamentary Services Bill 2025 were the mother of all reforms, adding that it was already discussed during Azhar’s tenure as Dewan Rakyat Speaker. “If this is the start of a new era, our future will be ruined. How can you consider this the mother of all reforms?” he said.“It’s about the staffing power being given to the committee.“It’s just about having the authority to employ staff and that’s called the mother of all reforms?” he said.On Tuesday, Azalina reportedly said the Bill would elevate the Parliament’s status, in service to the separation of powers among the judiciary, executive and legislature.
The Constitution Bill 2025 and Parliamentary Services Bill 2025 were tabled for the first reading in the Dewan Rakyat on Monday , with the second reading scheduled for March 4, to be presented by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
