MARCH 13 — Projek SAMA calls for the Madani Government to produce and lay before Parliament a Green Paper and allow more deliberation on the proposed amendments to Federal Constitution with regard to citizenship.
We call for all parliamentarians, especially the government backbenchers and opposition MPs to protect the Federal Constitution from rushed amendments. No one should be blind supporters of such amendments, nor the Parliament a mere rubber stamp. It should play a vital role in policy formation, with transparency and meaningful deliberation in the law-making process, and that should be the new practice and norm under this government premised on institutional reform.
It is disturbing that constitutional amendments affecting the lives and rights of many are handled in such a manner shrouded in secrecy.
If any MPs can’t bring himself/herself to oppose it, then they must not be part of the yes vote. This is a justified occasion for backbench disobedience.
