  "account": "Amanah has dismissed the idea of granting the opposition leader a role in deciding the Dewan Rakyat's agenda, while a PKR MP is advocating for further review. Amanah's secretary-general, Faiz Fadzil, contends that the proposal is not necessary at the present time, citing the opposition's lack of maturity in fulfilling its checks and balances responsibilities. He points to instances where opposition MPs walked out of debates and failed to present alternative budgets, despite PAS being the largest opposition bloc. Hassan Karim, a PKR MP, supports the proposal and suggests it should be referred to a parliamentary select committee. He believes such a move could strengthen the checks and balances process and enhance government accountability, as well as bolster Parliament's independence under the Parliamentary Service Act. The proposal, made by Wawasan secretary-general Saifuddin Abdullah, aims to incorporate reforms into the democratic system, institutions, leadership, and government.",
