JOHOR BARU: Important institutional reforms will be stalled if the unity government does not retain the Pulai parliamentary seat as the administration will lose its two-thirds majority in the Dewan Rakyat, said a senior Barisan Nasional leader.

“This Pulai parliamentary seat is vital for laws to be passed. Without a two-thirds majority, the Opposition can always stall important legislature and make demands,” said Johor information chief Datuk Md Jais Sarday.
