Putrajaya may have agreed to amend the Federal Constitution to put an end to unilateral child conversion but it may not have enough votes in Parliament to do so, says constitutional expert Abdul Aziz Bari.

He said this was because a two-thirds majority, or 148 votes was required but BN only had 132 votes.

While it may not be difficult to get an additional 16 votes from the opposition, BN would need to ensure all its MPs, some of whom may not be keen on the amendment, to toe the line.
