[edit] Failed Good Article

The does not need a separate article. I requested a merge. joturner 22:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I agreed with joturner. --Suryasuharman 04:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

I hate to break out the systemic bias argument because it's way overused, IMO, but if the House of Representatives of Antigua and Barbuda or New Zealand House of Representatives get their own articles, why can't the lower house of the Malaysian Parliament? If the argument is that most of the information is already in Parliament of Malaysia, well, in the future this article will need to be broken out again, making this a rather pointless merge, IMO.

[edit] Did you know...

From the main page "...that the Dewan Rakyat is prohibited from discussing the repeal of certain articles of the Constitution of Malaysia?"

I seriously doubt the validity of this statement. If it's true, then why isnt it in the article? KI 21:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

"Under the Act, all public discussion of repealing certain Articles of the Constitution dealing with Bumiputra privileges such as Article 153 is illegal. This prohibition is extended to all members of both houses of Parliament." It's been there for a while already -- certainly before this made it to DYK. Johnleemk | Talk 10:47, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How is the size of the dewan Rakyat determined?

How the size of the Dewan Rakyat is determined isn't in the article. Someone should include it. --Novelty 08:42, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
