AG-PP split bill readings postponed for rulers’ views
The Malaysian government has postponed the second and third readings of a bill to separate the roles of the attorney-general and public prosecutor. The delay allows for consultation with the Conference of Rulers to ensure the constitutional reform process is handled responsibly.
Why it matters
This reform is a significant step toward reducing executive influence over the judiciary and strengthening the separation of powers in Malaysia.
Law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said said the government will continue the debate on the bill at the next Dewan Rakyat sitting after consulting the Conference of Rulers. (Bernama pic)
