Know the duties of your MPs


Democratic role: Both the Prime Minister and the Cabinet are answerable to Parliament and this is the manifestation of accountability to the rakyat.

WHEN the image of disruptive antics of some of the members of Parliament floods the mind, it is possible to overlook the important role that MPs play in a democracy like ours.

In our democracy, the Constitution is the supreme law of the nation. It decides how our government is supposed to run and sets out the roles of the executive, legislative, judiciary and the Agong.
