DAP gives Anwar year-end deadline for AG-PP, PM term limit bills

DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo has demanded Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim take swift action to enact several crucial reforms by year-end. The Malaysian opposition party is urging the government to pass the attorney-general (AG) and public prosecutor (PP) separation bill, set a deadline for the bills to be approved, and implement a two-term limit for the prime minister's term.

Additionally, DAP is advocating for amendments to the Peaceful Assembly Act and the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act, or Sosma. The groundwork for these reforms has already been laid, with the AG-PP separation and two-term limit bills prepared, and a ministerial statement on Sosma amendments delivered in February last year.

Gobind Singh Deo emphasized the need for clear timelines in the implementation of these reforms and urged the government to allocate extra sitting days for the next Dewan Rakyat session between October and December to expedite the process.
