COMMENT | Incredibly, despite the fierce opposition, including from its own bench, the government did not defer the Procurement Bill 2025 but passed it by a margin of 125 to 63, which means most DAP and PKR MPs supported it.

So serious are the defects that I am forced to question whether they were made with the full knowledge and intention of the promulgators to deliberately give excessively high power to policy makers and ministers, making a laughing stock of their original intention.
