KUALA LUMPUR: Speakers of state assemblies and Parliament have to properly manage the public’s perception and the politicking between ruling and opposition coalitions, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

“They have to prove the effectiveness of legislative assemblies and ensure the laws passed are of a high quality,” said Najib.
