Tan Sri Datuk Seri Panglima Pandikar Amin bin Haji Mulia is a Malaysian politician and the current Speaker of the Dewan Rakyat, the lower house of the Parliament of Malaysia. He was previously a Minister in the Prime Minister's Department. After the 2008 general elections, the Barisan Nasional coalition government announced that Pandikar, a member of the United Malays National Organisation, would be the new Speaker, replacing Ramli Ngah Talib.[1] The 12th Parliament will be the first to be presided over entirely by East Malaysians; Pandikar and his deputies, Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar and Ronald Kiandee, hail from either Sabah or Sarawak.[2] Pandikar had previously served as the Speaker of the Sabah State Assembly from 1986 to 1988.[3] In mid-May, after Parliament convened, Pandikar resigned as Kota Marudu UMNO division chief, citing the need to be a neutral presiding officer. He denied his resignation was linked to possible party-switching amongst UMNO MPs from East Malaysia.[4]
