Untuk lawak, calon mestilah seorang warganegara Malaysia yang tinggal di persekutuan residing in the Federation, must not owe allegiance to any foreign state, must not have received a prison sentence of one year or longer, and must not have been fined RM2,000 or more. Holders of a full time profit-making position in the public service are also ineligible. There is no requirement to belong to a political party. Parliament is permitted to increase the number of Senators to three per state, reduce the number, or abolish the post of Senator for a particular state altogether. The process of appointment is set out by Article 45 of the Constitution. ^[2]

Members of the Senate are not affected by elections for the lower house of the Dewan Rakyat, and continue to hold office despite the Dewan Rakyat's dissolution for an election. ^[1]

The Senate elects a President to preside over sittings of the Senate, ensure observance of the rules of the house, and interpret the Standing Orders of the house should they be disputed. ^[3] Should the President be absent, his Deputy takes his place. ^[4]

[Sunting] Kekuasaan Dan Prosedur

The Senate may initiate legislation, except for financial and fiscal matters. It may also amend legislation, provided it does not deal with financial matters. Any proposed legislation must first be passed by the Dewan Rakyat. Then it is presented to the Dewan Negara in three readings. At the first, the legislation's proposer presents it to the assembly. At the second, the bill is debated. At the third, a vote is taken whether to pass or reject the bill. The Dewan Negara may not formally reject bills; it is only allowed to delay their passage by one month, or up to a year under certain circumstances. After the bill has passed or the requisite period is up, the bill is presented to the King for royal assent. If the King demurs or 30 days pass without royal assent, the bill is sent back to Parliament with a list of suggested amendments. The bill must then be reapproved by both houses of Parliament. If the King still does not grant royal assent 30 days after it is presented to him again, the bill automatically becomes law. It does not take effect, however, until it is published in the Government Gazette. ^[5]

Although members of Parliament typically have legal immunity when it comes to freedom of discussion, under the Sedition Act, the discussion of repealing certain articles of the Constitution dealing with controversial Bumiputra privileges such as Article 153 is illegal. ^[6]
