One-year break from donning ties in Dewan Rakyat

PETALING JAYA: MPs will not be required to wear ties while in the Dewan Rakyat for a year from Feb 13.

The change in the formal dress code comes as newly minted Speaker Datuk Johari Abdul attempts to bring both procedural and physical reforms to the august hall.
