Parliament gets autonomy again


AFTER 33 years, the Parlia­men­tary Services Act has made a historic return after the Bill for it was passed yesterday, giving more autonomy to the legislative body to manage its own operations.

The Bill, which was tabled by the Minister in the Prime Min­ister’s Department (Law and Insti­tu­tional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said last month, was passed via voice vote after its second and third reading.
