Former MIC secretary-general Datuk Seri S Vell Paari has been reappointed as a senator and took his oath of office before Dewan Negara president Tan Sri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar on Monday (Sept 25). His reappointment, which is effective from Sept 2, 2023, to Sept 1, 2026, was granted with the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
Vell Paari was initially appointed as a senator on Sept 2, 2020. During the Third Day of the Special Meeting of Dewan Negara, where the motion of the 12th Malaysia Plan (12MP) Mid-Term Review (MTR) was being debated, Wan Junaidi expressed his appreciation for Vell Paari’s intellectual and constructive input.
Wan Junaidi urged members of Dewan Negara to enhance the quality of debates and not let themselves be influenced by any ongoing political situations. The current session focused on addressing questions raised by the 44 members of Dewan Negara while discussing the 12MP MRT, which was presented by Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli on Sept 20. – Bernama
