The Government is set to intensify its efforts after a survey showed weaknesses in the support provided to hawkers and small traders. The priority will be to address the constitutional changes aimed at separating the roles of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor.
Govt to step up engagement after survey flags gaps in support for hawkers, small traders , says Fahmi KUALA LUMPUR: The newly revised Constitution Bill 2026, which seeks to separate the roles of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor, will be re-tabled on the first day Parliament reconvenes on June 22, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
The Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department said the proposed amendment appeared to have garnered support from MPs across the political divide.
“God willing, we will table it on June 22. But on June 22, we will first table the statement from this meeting and explain what transpired.
“We will also have the Bill there, enclosed together, and we hope we can proceed with the First Reading, then the Second Reading, and hopefully settle the Third Reading as well. “I hope that when we bring this amendment, it will become a historic amendment for our country because since Merdeka until today, the functions of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor have existed together, and now we are creating a separation between the two.
“For me, this is history in the making, and once again I would like to thank everyone involved, especially the MPs in the committee,” she said after chairing the sixth meeting of the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on Constitutional Amendments Related to the Separation of the Roles of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor on Monday . “I think you have to wait and see. But everybody has agreed.
That is the best compromise we have achieved between the executive and the legislative branches,” she said, without elaborating. Pressed on whether the enclosed Bill had already been revised, she replied: “Yes, yes, of course. It is the version agreed upon by all parties. ” “I also requested representatives from the opposition to support the government on this Bill, taking into account that this amendment will benefit the rakyat as a whole.
“We would like to inform the public that this is exactly what institutional reform is all about, taking into account and ensuring that the roles of the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor in our country are separated. “So I hope this historic change will create a new precedent and set a new standard for our country in the years to come,” she said.
On March 3, the Dewan Rakyat agreed that the Bill be referred to the Special Select Committee, chaired by Azalina, to allow all relevant parties to deliberate and scrutinise it further.
