Deputy Speaker hopes changes to Aboriginal Act will get two-thirds support in Dewan Rakyat


KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Dewan Rakyat Speaker Datuk Ramli Mohd Nor hopes proposed amendments to the Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954 (Act 134) will be backed by at least 148 or two-thirds of the MPs.

According to Ramli, there were only two occasions where Malaysian governments enjoyed support from two-thirds of MPs in Parliament, once during former premier Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s tenure in 2004 and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s current tenure.
