  "summary": "Seven bills are scheduled for debate in the Dewan Rakyat, Malaysia's lower house of parliament, beginning on November 30 after the 2027 Budget debates conclude. The bills encompass various areas, including adoption, criminal registry, judiciary, and urban redevelopment. Among the bills are the Adoption (Amendment) Bill 2026 and the Registration of Criminals and Undesirable Persons (Amendment) Bill 2026, both under the purview of the home minister. Other bills include the Courts of Judicature (Amendment) Bill 2026, the Prisons (Amendment) Bill 2026, and the Mufti (Federal Territories) Bill 2024. The Constitution (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2026, which seeks to separate the roles of the attorney-general and the public prosecutor, is also set to be debated. However, the official Dewan Rakyat calendar indicates that sittings from November 16 to 19 are still reserved for the 2027 Budget debates at the committee stage, with the bills and other government business scheduled to begin on November 30 and run until December 8.",
