Amanah rejects opposition role in Dewan agenda, PKR MP backs review
Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Karim says the proposal should be referred to a parliamentary select committee for consideration.
Amanah has rejected the opposition leader's proposal to have a role in determining the Dewan Rakyat's agenda, while PKR MP Hassan Karim backs the idea and suggests it be reviewed by a parliamentary select committee. Faiz Fadzil, Amanah's secretary-general, argues that the opposition has not shown enough maturity to handle such a role, citing the opposition's behavior during the Tabung Haji inquiry and its failure to present an alternative budget.
Karim, however, believes this move could strengthen checks and balances and improve government accountability. PW to amend the Dewan Rakyat Standing Orders would be needed for this proposal to be implemented, as the current agenda is largely determined by the prime minister and the speaker.
