KULIM: Perikatan Nasional (PN) may feel it is on top of the world with its impressive showing in the just concluded Padang Serai and Tioman elections, but the coalition is in no hurry to push its luck by immediately dissolving state assemblies under its control. PN state leaders said they would rather wait until the end of their term in Kedah, Kelantan and Terengganu, which would be in the middle of next year. Kedah PN chairman Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor, who is also menteri besar, was all upbeat when asked about PN's outing in the Padang Serai polls.

Umno has fulfilled RoS requests - Zahid

SHAH ALAM - A Parliamentary pressure group has urged Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul to chart a clear plan on the Parliamentary reforms.
The Seed Community for a Professional Parliament (SCPP), in a statement today, said the plans should detail the establishment of new select committees, their numbers and membership, including The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) which will monitor all ministries led by the Prime Minister since the formation of the Cabinet more than two months after the 15th General Election (GE15).
It also suggested that the government introduced a parliamentary select committee (PSC) for Budget and Finance separately to review other financial affairs which were not included under PAC monitoring.

Parliamentary reform agenda needs to be clearer, says SCPP
