So for those who say no reform under Madani, think again.
They are damn lousy at communication job, explaining job, PR job.Fahmi & the overall government macam sudah lupa their root of how they use to communicate with the rakyat on issues and policy.
They silent on important issue that people want to know, need to know, then did so bad at countering fake news and hasutan but at the surface still be seen with trying to tamper with free speech.
All their policies and their real intention macam tak pernah bawah bincang dengan all related organizations, associations, business entities, media and hear their feedback, voices, so that they understand well and by the time it launch, it wont be like super lousy with many shortcoming and most importantly coming as a shock. People dont accept shock very well and often will reciprocate with negativity.
In summary this government probably not as pandai in sakau (yet), but damn stupid in doing their job.

Good question — in Malaysia, there’s often a gap between when Parliament passes a bill and when the law actually takes effect. Here’s why it may have taken from 2023 until 10 September 2025 for the repeal of Section 309 to be enforced:
Royal Assent & Gazette ≠ Immediate Effect
Even after a bill is passed and receives royal assent, it doesn’t automatically come into force.
The Act usually states that it “shall come into operation on a date to be appointed by the Minister by notification in the Gazette.” This allows the government flexibility in timing.
Implementation Readiness
Decriminalising attempted suicide requires replacing punishment with support systems — e.g., hotlines, psychiatric services, crisis response teams, training for police/first responders.
It’s likely the government needed time to strengthen mental health infrastructure before removing the legal deterrent.
Policy Coordination Across Laws
The repeal was tied to three related amendments (Penal Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and Mental Health Act). Synchronising their enforcement takes administrative and legal preparation.
Symbolic Timing
The government deliberately chose World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September 2025) for enforcement. This creates international visibility and positions Malaysia as aligned with global mental health priorities.
So, in short: the delay wasn’t because Parliament was slow, but because the government likely wanted (a) time to prepare systems, and (b) a symbolic launch date with global resonance.
👉 Do you want me to check the exact Hansard or gazette notes to see whether the government explicitly explained the two-year delay?
