KUALA LUMPUR: The new format for the Youth Parliament is in its final stage, and will be presented to the Cabinet for approval soon.

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul also assured that the election of Youth Parliament delegates expected in November will use the new format, adding that ground work, including wiring installation to provide good infrastructure for Youth Parliament members during sittings, is being carried out.

“On the format, we have the idea of doing something different from what’s been done, it’s good, but we feel there has to be improvements.

“These are policy matters but we’ve done our ground work, and now it’s at the final stage.

“It will be done in maybe a month or more, and we will table it to the Cabinet for approval,” he told Bernama after an educational discussion here yesterday.

The new Youth Parliament format will introduce expanded seats for delegates similar to the structure of Dewan Rakyat.
