Due process of making laws


I REFER to the report “Liew: 36 changes proposed for the IPCMC Bill” (The Star, Nov 28; online at https://bit.ly/2OJgVre). Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Liew Vui Keong was reported to have said that the 36 proposed changes to the Independent Police Complaints of Misconduct Commission (IPCMC) Bill recommended by the Special Select Committee on Bills Consideration would be presented to the Cabinet.

“If approved by the Cabinet, we will table the Bill in Dewan Rakyat next week, ” he said at the Parliament lobby. I am rather amazed by what the de facto Law Minister said.
