State to review several enactments and ordinances

GEORGE TOWN: Several enactments and ordinances will be reviewed to create a more robust and democratic state assembly process, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow. “Many of the enactments and ordinances were inherited from the British which are not so relevant now.

“We are looking at reviewing them as it has been around since the country’s Independence,” he said in reply to Lee Khai Loon (PH-Machang Bubuk) who asked if the state would bring back the Parliament Services Act 1963 to empower the Penang State Assembly with the separation of powers.
