Yang di-Pertuan Agong

                     
The Federal Parliament is made up of  Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong and two - the Senate (Dewan Negara) and the
House of Representatives (Dewan Rakyat).

Article 55 of the Federal Constitution stipulates that only  Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong can call for Parliament to 
be in session. His Highness also has the special power to end or dissolve the Parliament. 

Therefore, Yang di-Pertuan Agong is required by the Constitution to call Parliament to meet within six months between the last
proceeding in the next term.
                     
For the Dewan Rakyat, the Council Speaker or his Deputy has to determine, at least 28 days before the beginning of each term, 
the dates of proceeding for each term. Nevertheless, from time to time, the Council Speaker or his Deputy can change the dates
that have been fixed.

The Federal Parliament is the highest judiciary body in Malaysia. Unless dissolved, the Parliament will proceed for five years 
from the date of the first proceeding session conducted after a General Election.

At the end of the five-year period, the Parliament is automatically dissolved, and within 60 days from the date of its dissolvement, 
a General Election to elect representatives for the Dewan Rakyat has to be held, and the Parliament calls for a meeting at a date 
not later than 120 days from the date of dissolvement.
