KUALA LUMPUR: Two senators took oath of office before Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim today.
They are Johor MCA deputy liaison chairman Datuk Lim Pay Hen and Padawan Municipal Council deputy chairman.
Lim has been re-elected for the senatorship by the Johor State Legislative Assembly for another term, from June 26, 2022 to June 25, 2025, while Ahmad is a new appointment by the Sarawak State Assembly effective July 22, 2022 to July 21, 2025.
They were sworn in as Senators before the question and answer session in the Dewan Negara.
Rais, in his speech, reminded them to play their role and responsibilities as Senators as best as possible, including in the effort to transform Parliament.
"The Dewan Negara is currently going through a transformation phase that requires active participation of the senators so that the role of this House in fighting for the people is effective," he said.
