SUNGAI PETANI: The Malaysian Parliament must not be distant from the people; instead, the people need to be informed about the roles and actual functions of the institution, says Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul.
"People, especially in rural areas, do not know the role of Parliament...Parliament is seen as a place where MPs gather, argue, bang tables, fight, and insult one another... whereas Parliament is a noble place where laws are made.
