Govt to Re-table Bill on AG Separation and PM Term Limit

Kuala lumpur: The MADANI Government has announced plans to re-table the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2026 at the upcoming Parliamentary session. This bill will address the separation of the roles of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor, as well as introduce a limit on the Prime Minister's tenure.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said has indicated that after the implementation of Phase I of the MADANI Accountability Framework in early 2026, the reform agenda is now progressing into Phase II. This phase, which spans from May to August, aims to enhance integrity, human rights, and the justice system, alongside the development of the country's judicial infrastructure.

In a Facebook post, Azalina detailed that beginning in May, key initiatives will include the drafting of the Malaysian Ombudsman Bill and the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act during the next Parliamentary sitting. Additionally, the establishment of the Anti-Bullying Tribunal is among the institutional reform initiatives set for April, as part of efforts to strengthen protection for victims and address bullying comprehensively under the Anti-Bullying Act 2026.

These initiatives underscore the MADANI Government's commitment to implementing reform agendas systematically and effectively. The goal is to build a more transparent, accountable, and resilient system for the nation's future. The Dewan Rakyat sitting is scheduled to run for 16 days from June 22 to July 16, as indicated by the official Parliament website calendar.
