Azalina: A fixed parliamentary term can ensure the continuous implementation of reform agendas and policies without disruption.

PETALING JAYA: An in-depth study will be done on the idea of a Fixed-Term Parliament Act (FTPA), says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said following calls for a law to allow a sitting government to serve out its full five-year term.

In welcoming the proposal, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reforms) said that such a study will include an impact assessment, engagement with stakeholders, and a survey on public opinion.
