President Of The Dewan Negara
The President of the Senate ( ms, Yang di-Pertua Dewan Negara) is the presiding officer or speaker of the Dewan Negara, the upper house of the Parliament of Malaysia. The President of the Senate is created under Article 56 of the Constitution of Malaysia. The office is similar to the Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat: the president is elected by the members of the Senate and is expected to be politically impartial. If a member of the Dewan Negara is elected as the president and is a member of a state legislative assembly, he must resign from the assembly before exercising the functions of the office. As the president may hold different titles while in office, it also changes the style. The current president is Rais Yatim. Therefore, while in session, the senators will call him as 'Tuan Yang di-Pertua' (Mr. President). Functions The main functions of the President of the Dewan Negara are: * to preside over the sittings of the Dewan Negara * to be responsible for the observance o ...
