Second day working at the Parliament, June 25th 2013. It was busy as usual. Actually I’ve nothing much to write here, just wanted to share with you guys some of the photograph taken today. All the photograph were taken using Nikon D3 with 70-200mm and 24-120mm respectively. (70-200mm for Close Up / 24-70mm for Wide Shot).

© 2013 Wazari Wazir | For the first time in history, the official opening ceremony of Parliament was held indoors with the guard-of-honour being held at the banquet hall of Parliament House because of the worsening haze here in Kuala Lumpur.  Normally, the ceremony would be held outdoors at Parliament Square and the Yang di-Pertuan Agong would receive the Royal Salute and the National Anthem would be played.
