PETALING JAYA: A fixed-term Parliament act (FTPA), if enacted, will not clash with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong's constitutional powers to consent to the dissolution of Parliament if requested by the prime minister, says electoral watchdog Bersih.

"The FTPA will not withhold the King's prerogative to consent to the dissolution of Parliament if requested by the prime minister as stated in Article 40(2)(b) of the Constitution," it said.
