The Dewan Rakyat (Malay for House of Representatives literally People’s Hall) is the lower house of the Parliament of Malaysia. All bills must usually be passed by both the Dewan Rakyat and the Dewan Negara (the Senate) before they are given Royal Assent by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (Monarch). Members of the Dewan Rakyat are often referred to as members of parliament or MPs. Like the Dewan Negara the Dewan Rakyat meets at the Malaysian Houses of Parliament in Kuala Lumpur.
