KUALA LUMPUR: The constitutional amendment to separate the roles of the attorney general and the public prosecutor is expected to proceed in October, after the relevant recommendations are presented to the Conference of Rulers. Law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said said the decision to present the recommendations of the special select committee on the amendment was made by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim during a Cabinet meeting.
"The Conference of Rulers meeting is expected to take place in October, which is also when the final parliamentary session for this year is held. "After that, we hope the amendment related to the separation of the attorney general and public prosecutor's roles can proceed," she said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Negara today. She was answering a supplementary question from Senator Halim Suleiman on the status of the separation and the broader achievements of the government's reform agenda.
Azalina said the Cabinet decision also covered recommendations on limiting the prime minister's term of office. In response to Halim's initial question on the government's institutional reform agenda, she said 21 major reform initiatives had been implemented from 2022 to 2025. She said the government was pressing ahead with several key reform initiatives this year to strengthen governance, enhance institutional accountability, and reinforce the system of checks and balances.
