| The 14th General Election in Malaysia was a pivotal turning point for the progressive parliamentary reform agenda. Recognising that parliamentary reform in Malaysia is highly complex, parliament plays a vital role in monitoring the SDG implementation. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to analyse the roles of parliament in advancing the SDGs through its reform agenda. It will be of great significance in elucidating parliamentary reform and embedding the 2030 Agenda to advance the functioning of parliament. The analysis was conducted using a qualitative approach through analysing parliamentary documents. The paper proposes an independent select committee, re-introduce the Parliamentary Service Act, empower the opposition, amend Standing Orders, and institutionalise a Parliamentary Research Services. The incorporation of the SDGs in the parliamentary reform agenda is vital to support parliamentarians in carrying out their duties effectively, which in turn assist the parliament to represent the voices of the people. ? 2021 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. |
