PETALING JAYA: Despite a chaotic first day as Dewan Rakyat Speaker, Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun still enjoys his work and is determined to continue with the Parliament reform agenda. Azhar is also adamant about continuing with the Parliament reform agenda, one of which involves improving the utilisation of the special select committee. “We show them what it means to be summoned by the select committee and what it does. Azhar said he had also managed to push the Finance Ministry for an allocation for the special select committee, adding that it now had 11 dedicated trained staff that functioned as a basic secretariat. Azhar counts himself lucky to be familiar with politicians from both sides as this helps him a lot with his new responsibilities.
