Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Dr Rais Yatim, in his speech, proposed that the government take measures to make Bahasa Melayu the legal language of the Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code and the Federal Constitution.
Rais also expressed his appreciation to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and the Cabinet for fulfilling their promise to attend and answer Senators' questions throughout the sitting, before adjourning the session to a date to be determined later. Among the highlights of the session was when Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, attended the second reading of the Supply Bill 2023 on March 29 where he announced several additional initiatives including the Aidilfitri financial aid and tax exemption.
Meanwhile, the debate on the empowerment of persons with disabilities took an emotional turn when the senators all stood on one leg for one minute as a sign of support and solidarity for Senator Isaiah Jacob.
