Malaysia’s Second Meeting of the Fifth Session of the 15th Parliament will begin on June 22 and continue until July 16, spanning 16 days of debate and legislative work [1, 2, 3]. Lawmakers will re-table the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2026, which proposes to limit the prime minister’s tenure to 10 years after it previously failed to secure the required two-thirds majority in the Dewan Rakyat [1, 2, 3].
Alongside this, the Constitution (Amendment) Bill (No 2) 2026 will return to the floor, aiming to separate the roles of the attorney general and the public prosecutor. This Bill has been referred to a Parliamentary Special Select Committee for further review before a final vote [1, 2, 3].
On the first day of the session, the Cybercrime Bill 2026 and the Road Transport Act 1987 (Amendment) Bill will be tabled, with debates scheduled for the following day [1, 2, 3]. The Road Transport Amendment Bill covers 11 key areas across 42 clauses designed to tackle illegal racing and strengthen enforcement measures [1, 2, 3]. Transport Minister Anthony Loke said, "The amendments also include tougher measures to curb the activities of ‘tonto’ syndicates, as well as efforts to strengthen enforcement mechanisms to enhance road safety and ensure more effective compliance with the law" [1].
The parliament will also discuss the impacts of the global energy supply crisis on Malaysia, linked to ongoing conflicts in West Asia [1, 2]. Dewan Rakyat Speaker Tan Sri Johari Abdul reminded MPs to ensure debates remain orderly, mature, and focused on public interest. He said, "The Dewan Rakyat is the highest legislative institution in the country. Every debate should be based on facts, data and constructive proposals, and not influenced by political dynamics" [2].
Following the Dewan Rakyat session ending July 16, the Dewan Negara (Upper House) will hold a separate 10-day meeting from July 20 to August 4 [3]. The state election in Johor is expected to coincide with the Dewan Rakyat meeting dates, adding a political dimension to the ongoing parliamentary session [3].
