Menzahirkan Reformasi Dewan Negara/Realizing Senate Reform – Kisah Ikhtiar Memartabatkan Maruah Dewan Negara (Versi Paperback)
Human civilization through the ages has given rise to several key institutions. Among these are religious institutions, universities and parliaments. Parliaments have two key characteristics, the first of which is parliamentary sovereignty. Second, they are mechanisms for democratic accountability to the people.In his new book, Yusmadi believe that the Senate Reform Agenda is a critical agenda in this 21st century because it can be a catalyst towards balanced national development, from Perlis to Sabah. The spirit of muafakat for the interests of the people is a political ethic that should be continued and perhaps even be made the approach in work in the Senate.

Realizing Senate Reform/Menzahirkan Reformasi Dewan Negara (Versi Coffee Table)
“…rakyat telah bersuara dan menuntut kepada satu perubahan terhadap sistem bernegara. Saya berpandangan Agenda Reformasi Dewan Negara adalah satu agenda yang sangat penting di alaf 21 ini kerana dia mampu menjadi satu pemangkin yang boleh menyumbang kepada pembangunan dan perubahan negara yang seimbang dari Perlis hinggalah ke Sabah.
Dewan Negara perlu menjadi ruang membina muafakat demi rakyat Malaysia.”
After the nation-wide change that occurred in the past General Elections, The people have spoken. They clamor for change in our nation’s structures and systems. I believe that the Senate Reform Agenda is a critical agenda in this 21st century because it can be a catalyst towards balanced national development, from Perlis to Sabah.
The role of the Senate envisaged in paragraph 64 of the Reid
“We do not envisage the Senate as a body of secondary importance. Our recommendations are made with the intention of enabling the Senate to become an influential forum of debate and discussion, and a body which will contribute valuable revision to legislation and which will be able to impose a measure of delay in exceptional cases.”
In its General Election 14 (GE14) manifesto, Pakatan Harapan promised to restore the dignity of Parliament. Its subsequent victory has provided a fitting opportunity to herald a much- awaited Parliamentary reform agenda, towards enhancing Parliament’s independence and legislative process consonant with the rule of law and justice.
In line with this manifesto promise of Pakatan Harapan government, a Working Committee on Senate Reforms was established to recommend suitable Senate reforms. In its work, the Working Committee on Senate Reforms has engaged relevant stakeholders via steps such as roundtable discussions/ consultations with the Speakers of the State Legislative Assemblies, former Speakers of Parliament, academicians, NGOs, as well as experienced parliamentarians from Canada and Australia.
This book attempts to enhance readers’ understanding of the role of Dewan Negara, the role of the senate and senators, reinstating the Parliamentary Service Act 1963, the improvements of The Senate Institutional Structure and the Rebranding of the Senate in the Local Mould through Various Programmes including Advocacy and Public Awareness.
