Oppose not for the sake of opposing, I argued that there need not be a ruckus in the Dewan Rakyat over the granting of power to the prime minister under the Jurisdictional Immunities of Foreign States Bill 2023.
When a Bill has been read a second time it shall stand committed to a Committee of the whole House unless the House on motion commits it to a Select Committee. Such motion shall not require notice, must be made immediately after the Bill is read a second time, and may be proposed by any member; the question thereon shall be put forthwith and shall be decided without amendments or debate.
