Bills & voting(2)

• RANG UNDANG-UNDANG KANUN TATACARA JENAYAH (PINDAAN) 2024

  The bill seeks to amend the Criminal Procedure Code to grant police officers of the rank of Sergeant and above the power to seize, cease, or block transactions in bank accounts suspected of being involved in cyber fraud and mule account activities. During the Second and Third Reading debate, MPs expressed support for the bill's aim to combat online scams but raised concerns about potential abuse of power, calling for safeguards such as judicial oversight and time limits on police orders. No formal division was recorded; the bill was agreed to by voice.

• Rang Undang-undang Keterangan Saksi Kanak-kanak (Pindaan) 2024

  Bacaan Kali Kedua dan Ketiga

  Agreed

  The bill seeks to amend the Child Evidence Act 2007 (Act 676) to enhance protections for child witnesses by raising the age of a child witness from 16 to 18 years, introducing provisions for special hearing capabilities, and prohibiting inappropriate questioning. The debate highlighted the need to align Malaysian law with international standards under the Convention on the Rights of the Child, eliminate outdated presumptions about children's credibility, and implement safeguards such as video testimony and judicial guidance to reduce trauma during court proceedings. The bill was agreed to at the Second and Third Reading stages without a formal division.
