Govt ‘lucky’ to pass Constitution amendments

Opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin today said the government had been “fortunate” to pass the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2025, which aims to restore and re-enforce the Parliamentary Services Act, during the Dewan Rakyat session on Tuesday.

He pointed out that the government only managed to secure one more vote than the minimum 147 MPs, or a two-thirds majority, needed to amend the constitution.
