KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 28  — The First Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 14th Parliament will be opened by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah in the Dewan Rakyat today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the Dewan Negara meeting, which will be opened simultaneously with the Dewan Rakyat today, will last for nine days beginning March 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection in the Parliament building, Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun had said that the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the previous Parliament meeting would be maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It includes requiring Members of Parliament (MPs) and staffers to undergo the\u00a0Reverse transcription-polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) test three days before the sitting\u00a0and the installation of transparent partitions between the seats of MPs as part of physical distancing practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azhar also said on Saturday that 146 positive cases were detected after 1,474 individuals comprising MPs, staffers and media representatives underwent RT-PCR tests over two days from Thursday at the Parliament building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
