A new approach for both the Legal Aid Department and the Insolvency Department will be introduced soon to enable them to provide a better and more efficient service to the people.

Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said announced this in a statement issued to mark her first year in office, here Friday.

She said throughout her first year in office, she was entrusted as the minister in charge of Parliamentary affairs, National Civics Bureau (BTN) and of late, to supervise legal affairs.

"Alhamdulillah, (working) along with the Speaker of Dewan Rakyat Tan Sri Pandikar Amin Mulia, the Parliament transformation process is now ongoing and will soon be realised. The rebranding of the BTN is also underway," she said.
