Govt will not amends the Constitution to restored the assent of the Agong

KUALA LUMPUR – The government will not amend the Federal Constitution in a bid to restore the mandatory requirement for the assent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to enable a bill to become law.
Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad said this being that Article 66 (4A) of the Federal Constitution concerning the matter had been amended three times.
“The constitution has been amended thrice through amendments in 1983, 1984 and 1994. The amendments made in 1994 were to Article 66 (4) and (4a) of the Federal Constitution were to ensure a bill does not take long to become law.
“With the amendments, except those touching on the privileges of the rulers, any bill will become law after 30 days of it been passed by Parliament,” he said in response to a question by Datuk Seri Ismail Mohamed Said (BN-Kuala Krau) during the question and answer session in the Dewan Rakyat.
