YANG di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah has assented to three acts passed in the first meeting of the fourth session of the 14th Parliament.

Dewan Rakyat Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun said the king put his signature to: the Windfall Profit Levy (Amendment) Act 20201; Temporary Measures for Government Financing [Coronavirus Disease 2019 (Covid-19)] (Amendment) Act 2021; and National Trust Fund (Amendment) Act 2021.

“I would like to inform the meeting that the king has given his assent to the acts passed in the first meeting of the fourth session of the 14th Parliament,” he announced before the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today.

Meanwhile, Azhar said the Dewan Rakyat also commemorated World Children’s Day, which is celebrated on November 20 every year, by holding a celebration in the Parliament banquet hall at 1pm today.

“World Children’s Day is a special day because it marks the adoption of Convention on the Rights of the Child on November 20, 1989, and Malaysia has ratified the convention in 1995,” he said.

He added that Malaysia has the obligation to abide by the principles and provisions enshrined in the convention, namely the survival, protection, development and participation of children. – Bernama, November 17, 2021.
