DAP desak lulus RUU asing peranan AG-pendakwa raya sebelum hujung tahun

After the DAP decided to remain in the federal government, Deputy Prime Minister Gobind Singh Deo urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to expedite the reform of key institutions and ensure it is passed before the end of the year. Deo stated that the congress resolution clearly conveyed the mandate to continue within the government, followed by concrete actions.

He emphasized the need for clear and firm timelines, including the proposed RUU separating the roles of the Attorney-General and the Public Prosecutor, as well as setting the tenure of the Prime Minister to two terms. Additionally, there is a long-standing backlog of amendments to the Security (Special Measures) Act (Sosma) and the 2012 Safe Assembly Act.

According to Deo, the foundation for reform is already in place with the provision of the RUU separating the Attorney-General and Public Prosecutor roles, and the two-term limit for the Prime Minister. He stressed the importance of maintaining commitment and delivering these changes without delay. Deo also referenced the government's action to hold a special parliamentary session regarding the recent RCI report on the Tabung Haji, proposing similar approaches for the reform-related RUU.

If necessary, he would request an additional parliamentary sitting in the upcoming Dewan Rakyat session to ensure the passage of the reforming RUU. The DAP remains fully committed to ensuring this reform is implemented without delay, and they urge for the passage of these bills before the end of the year.
