Amos Yee is out on parole, barely halfway into his six-year jail term in the United States for grooming a teenage girl and possessing child pornography.
PETALING JAYA: While the delay in tabling Bills is at times inevitable, the government must commit to its pledge for these laws, especially those related to promised reforms, to be presented to Parliament, say policy experts.
Among the proposed laws still in the pipeline are the so-called Generational End Game Bill on the ban of the sale of tobacco products and vape to those born after Jan 1, 2007, the revival of the Parliamentary Services Act, the amendment to the Federal Constitution on the citizenship of children born to Malaysian mothers overseas, and the Fiscal Responsibility Act .
“I support the submission of the Generational End Game Bill to the Parliamentary Special Select Committee on that matter. Wong said letting civil groups produce Private Member’s Bills would also deny politicians and legal officials in government the excuse that “while they agree with this principle, they would need time to study the details”.
“It would not be really right to say that delays in such bills were due to the inefficiency of the government in charge, but more so that the delays were caused by the circumstances,” he said.
