The cabinet has yet to discuss any reviews to the limitations of the powers of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong in assenting to new laws, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Azalina Othman Said.

"There is no such cabinet discussion yet. I just told the reporters that any changes to the constitution needs to be brought to cabinet for discussion, if there is a need," she told Malaysiakini today.

Earlier today, The Star reported that Azalina, who is in charge of legal affairs, had said the cabinet is open to discussions to review the Agong's powers before a new Act comes into force.
