Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin has proposed that Parliament sit for 180 days in a year in order to have enough time to push through the reforms proposed by de facto Law Minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.<br /><br />"I would like to call upon the minister to immediately increase Dewan Rakyat sitting to 120 days and Dewan Negara sitting to 60 days," he said.<br /><br />He noted that with Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob's government coming to power at the tail end of the term, there is little time left to push for the reforms.<br /><br />Parliament is expected to expire in July 2023 which means there are less than 22 months left to the current government's tenure.
