DAP demands institutional reforms in Malaysia

Overview

The Democratic Action Party (DAP) has intensified its calls for various institutional reforms within the Malaysian government. During its National Convention, DAP Chairman Gobind Singh Deo urged Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to set a timeline for implementing reforms, including separating the roles of the Attorney General and Public Prosecutor, imposing a two-term limit on the Prime Minister, and amending the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act (SOSMA) and the Peaceful Assembly Act.

Following these calls, the party also pressured the Prime Minister to fulfill a Pakatan Harapan manifesto pledge regarding the equal distribution of Constituency Development Funds (CDF) to all Members of Parliament. The DAP is advocating for formal legislation to institutionalize these equal allocations to remove political discretion and ensure non-discriminatory funding for all constituencies.
