Opposition flags concerns over bills to split AG-PP roles, limit PM’s tenure, urges readings to be postponed


KUALA LUMPUR: The Opposition has urged the government to postpone the readings of the Bills to separate the powers of the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor and limit the Prime Minister’s term to two years, as it flagged provisions in the proposed constitutional amendments.

Opposition chief whip Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said the Bills should be referred to a cross-party parliamentary special committee, which also includes civil society groups for further deliberation instead of the existing parliamentary special select committee.
