Parliament of Malaysia

What Parliament of Malaysia does

Parliament of Malaysia (Parlimen Malaysia) is the bicameral federal legislature of Malaysia, established in 1959, comprising the Senate (Dewan Negara) as the upper house and the House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat) as the lower house. It exercises constitutional law-making authority, government oversight, and legislative representation for the nation, and operates from its headquarters at Bangunan Parlimen in Kuala Lumpur with a 217-employee administrative staff. The institution is funded through the federal budget and provides its services free of charge to citizens; it has no commercial revenue model and is not a publicly traded entity.

The institution's technology footprint centers on the official portal parlimen.gov.my and a portfolio of satellite digital platforms: the Hansard Portal for official transcripts, ePRS (Parliamentary Research System), e-Risalat for parliamentary papers, the PBMY (Parliament Bills Malaysia) portal for bill tracking, e-Hantar for digital document submission, the PAC (Public Accounts Committee) portal for accountability and audit oversight, the Parliament Library System, and the Jurnal Parlimen Malaysia academic journal. A native mobile application extends access to Android and iOS users. These platforms collectively support law-making processes, public transparency, and committee operations, and the institution is currently investing in upgrades to its conferencing systems via a 2026 tender.

The customer base consists of Malaysian citizens accessing legislative information, Members of Parliament and Senators conducting legislative work, government agencies subject to parliamentary oversight, and international parliamentary bodies such as the Inter-Parliamentary Union and Commonwealth Parliaments. Distribution is achieved through the digital portals, mobile applications, physical visits to the Parliament building, and international parliamentary relations. The institution is integrated with the broader Malaysian government ecosystem through partnerships with the Prime Minister's Department, the National Accounting Department, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM), the Election Commission (SPR), the MyGovernment portal, HRMIS, ePerolehan, and BIUPA.
