00:00The discussion, discussion, criticism and criticism
00:05is followed by the most popular,
00:10speaker-speaker is here,
00:12and when the pressure is still hanging,
00:16the job of speaker is bigger.
00:19And in the parliament system,
00:23in the office,
00:25the job of speaker is almost muted.
00:28It's also a way of wearing.
00:31So, from this day, I was wearing a lot of formal,
00:36but from the outside parliament,
00:39I took a little bit.
00:41Because in the evening,
00:44I was wearing a lot of clothes,
00:46and then I was wearing a lot of clothes.
00:48So, I don't want to draw my clothes in the parliament.
00:54So, my friends,
00:57IPUA ini diasaskan dengan semangat ASEAN,
01:03memenuhi keperluan semasa,

02:07the Speaker, or both Speaker of the House, of Parliament and Senate, we have introduced
02:15a very radical shift, what we call the Parliamentary Services Act. An outstanding achievement because
02:26the institution of Parliament has become totally independent of governmental management.
02:39And of course, I commend the Speaker for harassing me to ensure that the Cabinet takes this as
02:51a priority and finally tabling for approval in Parliament. And on the issue of Parliamentary
02:58Services Act, we have found that in MLSI, both the ruling parties and the opposition gave
03:05their full support. Now, following that, we had also established select committees. And
03:16select committees, by nature, has to be represented both by government and the opposition. And
03:23I must say, it was easier in my role for many, many years as opposition leader, easier to perform
03:32in Parliament than to perform as Prime Minister. Because you are held accountable, you have
03:40to undertake, to answer some very difficult questions. And some of the exchanges on very
03:46contentious issues and raised in a very crankous exchanges, which I think is not necessarily
03:55very healthy, but they are something that is beyond us. Our hope is, of course, to allow
04:01for members of Parliament to show and set a good example of Senate or Congress, for that matter,
04:09that we can engage, enter in the recent discourse with some decorum. And this is, of course, a challenge
04:23in most parliaments in Congress. How do you then present a case, or choose to criticize, but
04:32maintain certain order and correct, but maintain certain order and decorum. And I think, therefore,
04:37the rule of speakers beyond rules, but also the spirit of democratic engagement is to ensure
04:46that it is healthy, it promotes a healthy reasoned discourse. That this discourse would maintain, ensure that certain
04:56corrupt is observed. And of course, that's your challenge. It's not necessarily mine.
05:04I've been up with problems in the House, particularly when we introduced in the last few years
05:10Prime Minister's question time. I wasn't sure whether I made the right decision, but I'm
05:16stuck with that on a weekly basis. But I think notwithstanding our personal reflections and
05:23views on this, I must say that it is healthy discourse. It puts the Prime Minister and
05:31the government on guard. And that gives the real meaning and essence to what we call democratic
05:41accountability.
