== Government and Politics ==
The politics of Pinang takes the form of a bicameral parliament with an indirect representative semi-democratic republic, whereby the chief executive is the head of state and the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the Chief executive that is chosen by the national Zongting, the National Zhongting is not directly elected, it has representatives from the Kongsi, the military and the 13 key industries of Pinang. This symbiotic relationship, combined with a weak lower house and its indirect nature, has led people to describe Pinang as an indirect representative technocratic state.
Legislative power is vested in both the government and the parliament, the Zhongting is more powerful and in essence, can override the parliament her decisions. The members of parliament are directly elected and thus it's often dominated by Kongsi supporters, there are parties in parliament but these are considered not that influential. The parliament does have some powers, principally it approves the civil budget, has the right to approve foreign treaties, can “Advice” the Zhongting on the military budget and makes civil legislation. It also exercises powers over civil service appointments and broader domestic issues.
