FTPA has its drawbacks

PETALING JAYA: A law to ensure the government of the day serves out its full term could put an end to constant attempts to topple the government, but risks allowing abuse of power and corruption to thrive, say analysts.

A Fixed-term Parliament Act (FTPA) to ease public anxiety over such attempts was recently proposed following the three changes in government seen since the 2018 general elections, and most recently, the purported plot dubbed the “Dubai Move”.
