Sabah politician Pandikar Amin Mulia was today sworn in as the Dewan Rakyat speaker.

While Pandikar Amin was the only name proposed for House speaker, there was a contest for the two deputy speakers.

Santubong MP Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar from Sarawak and Beluran MP Ronald Kiandee from Sabah - both from the ruling Barisan Nasional - ran against opposition candidate DAP’s Kepong MP Tan Seng Giaw.
