Dewan Negara

Dewan Negara is the upper house of Malaysia's Parliament, serving as a review chamber for legislation passed by the lower house (Dewan Rakyat). It consists of appointed and elected members who bring experience and diverse perspectives to national policymaking. The Dewan Negara examines, amends, and approves laws to ensure they are well-considered, balancing democratic representation with expert insight. It plays a key role in the legislative process, helping to refine and scrutinize proposed laws before they become national policy.
