DAP sets Anwar year-end deadline for AG-PP separation, PM term limit Bills
KUALA LUMPUR: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been given until year-end to ensure key institutional reforms, including separating the roles of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor and limiting the prime minister’s tenure to two terms, are passed.
The DAP has set a year-end deadline for Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to ensure crucial institutional reforms, including the separation of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor roles and limiting the prime minister's term to two terms. DAP national chairman Gobind Singh Deo urged the PM to take immediate action, stating that the groundwork for these reforms has already been laid with the AG-PP separation Bill and proposed two-term limit ready.
Gobind proposed amendments to the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act and Peaceful Assembly Act to be finalised and tabled without further delay. He also suggested a special parliamentary sitting or additional Dewan Rakyat sitting days to allow for the debate and passage of the reform Bills, similar to the recent special session on the Tabung Haji inquiry report.
The DAP remains committed to pushing through these reforms before the end of the year, as 88% of DAP delegates voted to remain in the Federal Government during a recent vote.
