The PPU students with few teacher in charge departed from school at 8.15am. It took us about half and hour to reach the parliament. Buses were not allowed to go into the parliament area and therefore, all of us had to walk into the place. As soon as we step into the area, the guard requested all of us to put down our sleeves, tidy up our tie and bla bla bla.... For students, we have to wear our school uniform neatly, while for other visitor such as teachers, they have to wear formal clothes like traditional clothes. For male, they will have to wear a coat.

Parliament Malaysia
We have the opportunity to watch the conference (persidangan) at the Dewan Rakyat! Although sometimes I don't really understand what were all the parliamentary talking about but still I felt grateful to have this great opportunity to get into the Dewan Rakyat and listen to them. There were also some rules to be followed as soon as you step into the Dewan Rakyat. You are not allowed to talk loudly, not allowed to give out your own point of view while the conference is going on because you are just a spectators, take a bow before you sit down and when you stand up from the chair and do not cross your legs because you will be considered not respecting others.
Students walking to the building. All of us must scan the body and our bags before we get into the building and not allowed to bring water and bags! The rules are strict!
Queuing up for body and bags scanning before we enter the building
After the visiting to Dewan Rakyat, we were brought to the Dewan Negara. The conference in Dewan Negara is not open to the public. We were given chances to sit on the Senator's chairs and walk around the hall. The whole building just looks like a grand hotel, amazing and beautiful!
A beautiful and great experience! Hope I will have another chance to enter the Parliament Malaysia!
