PETALING JAYA: Civil society groups are hopeful that the government will keep the doors open until June to address the remaining contentious issues affecting the proposed citizenship laws.

This comes after the Dewan Rakyat was adjourned shortly after the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2024 was read out for its second reading by Home Minister Datuk Seri Safuddin Nasution Ismail without debate or a vote.
