Language change ‘just an idea’


GEORGE TOWN: There is no decision yet to replace the English version of the Federal Constitution with the Bahasa Malaysia translation as the authoritative text, says Ramkarpal Singh.

The Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reforms) said as far as he was concerned, the matter was only an idea from the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) that was mooted during the Opening of the Legal Year 2023 last month.
