  "account": "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.
