DEWAN Negara president Rais Yatim has proposed that a political academy be established to provide official training to elected representatives.

He said it has become a necessity for the government to consider establishing such an academy, which would equip elected representatives with, among others, knowledge of legislation, socialism and the customs of the various races in the country.

“...since independence, there has been no official training centre for politicians.

“Those (elected representatives) who win will go straight into Parliament, with no training on the dos and don’ts in Parliament…it is important for politicians to undergo training,” he told a press conference after delivering a speech at the 53rd/54th Annual General Meeting of Badan Kebajikan dan Kemajuan Anak Melayu at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Academy in Kuala Lumpur today.

He also suggested that experienced and competent leaders, as well as experts on politics, be trainers at the academy. – Bernama, April 10, 2021.
