A Perikatan Nasional MP debating the 12th Malaysia Plan mid-term review has mooted electoral reforms to introduce a higher number of non-Malay representation in the Dewan Rakyat.

Shahidan Kassim (PN-Arau) referred to the "group representation constituency" (GRC) system practised in Singapore since 1988, where teams of candidates, instead of individual candidates, compete to be elected into Parliament.
