The following is the list of members of the Dewan Negara (Senate) of the 14th Malaysian Parliament.[2][3][4] 26 out of 70 senators, two senators for each state, are elected by their respective State Legislative Assembly for three-year term. The other 44, including four senators representing the Federal Territories, are appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong also for three-year term.[5]

Previously, Barisan Nasional (BN); together with Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), remains the majority in the Dewan Negara despite the Pakatan Harapan (PH); together with Sabah Heritage Party (WARISAN) and United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO) becomes the new governing party in the Dewan Rakyat, until February 2020. This is due to the constitutional nature that senators are not elected directly by the people, but instead elected by the State Legislative Assembly or appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which most of senatorial elections or appointments took place in the previous parliamentary term, i.e. the 13th Parliament.

Current composition

The composition of the Dewan Negara as of 5 November 2022, 2 weeks prior to the 2022 general election.[6]

The automatic resignation of its 17 former senators in only less than a month post-dissolution of 14th Malaysian Parliament due to their candidature in the 2022 (15th) General Election, had results to huge number of vacant senate seats; which is 24 seats (34.3%) out of 70 seats, the highest record in Malaysian Senate history.
