FOUR bills on institutional reform – covering the Ombudsman, freedom of information (FOI), political funding, and the separation of powers between the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor – are currently undergoing an engagement process and are expected to be tabled in Parliament next year.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said that amendments to the Whistleblower Protection Act 2010 will also be tabled, providing both protection and incentives for whistleblowers.
“The relevant ministers have submitted policy decisions for Cabinet approval regarding the Ombudsman, FOI, political funding, and the distribution of powers between the Attorney General and the Public Prosecutor.
“All four are currently under an engagement process, including with Parliament, the Bar Council, and other parties, before being finalised. Some will be tabled early next year, while others are expected mid-year,” he said during Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat today as reported by Bernama.
He was replying to a supplementary question from Datuk Seri Doris Sophia Brodi (GPS-Sri Aman) on the latest developments in legal institutional reform through these bills, aimed at helping to improve Malaysia’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). - November 18, 2025
