DEWAN NEGARA - some statistics

	Our Senators are all members of Political Parties - save 2 (under Minority) 44 Senators literally chosen by the PM - and 26 from the States - surely a bit unfair. Even if number of Senators from the States are increased to 3 each, it will come to 39 The Federal Constitution states that "The members to be appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong shall be persons who in his opinion have rendered distinguished public service or have achieved distinction in the professions, commerce, industry, agriculture, cultural activities or social service or are representative of racial minorities or are capable of representing the interests of aborigines." We really have to be told WHY the Yang di-Pertuan Agong appointed some of these SENATORS... this info should be available to the public.. It must be stated that no where is it stated that persons could be appointed SENATORS just because the PM wants them in his cabinet..
