PARLIAMENT | An opposition lawmaker debating the royal address has urged the government to expedite two long-standing reform promises - reinstate the Parliamentary Services Act (PSA) and enact a new political funding law.

In making the call, Wan Saiful Wan Jan (PN-Tasek Gelugor) stressed the importance of the two laws towards strengthening Parliament as the legislative arm and the role of opposition MPs as a check and balance force.
