00:00Dr. Martir Mohamad's call for legislation to establish a two-party political system
00:06is unconstitutional.
00:08This is what legal experts told FMT, adding that such a law could contravene a federal
00:13constitution provision that guarantees freedom of speech and association.
00:20Constitutional law professor Syed Salim Faruqi highlighted Malaysia as a multiracial nation
00:26where parties representing diverse beliefs and points of view have to be respected.
00:31He also disagreed with Mahathir's remark that the current political landscape, characterized
00:36by fragmented parties and splinter groups, had weakened the ability of any single party
00:42to form a stable government.
00:44Syed Salim said the phenomenon is an evolution of democracy which signaled the end of omnipotent
00:50political majorities.
00:52Meanwhile, constitutional lawyer Bastian Pius van Dagen described the proposal as an unnatural
00:59forced creation that impinges upon the freedom of choice for citizens.
