DAP is advocating for two constitutional reform Bills to be reintroduced to the Dewan Rakyat during its upcoming sitting, beginning on October 5. DAP chairman Gobind Singh Deo confirmed both draft Bills are prepared and ready for submission. The proposed amendments aim to cap the prime minister's tenure at 10 years and separate the attorney general's role from that of the public prosecutor.
The proposed term-limit amendment faced a narrow defeat in March, receiving 146 votes in favor, falling two votes short of the required 148. The government remains confident about securing sufficient support for the Bill's second reading and tabling it between October and December. DAP also pushed for the vacant attorney general's post to be resolved and equal allocations for elected representatives to be addressed during a meeting of the central executive committee.
