    "content": " Indeed, Hon. Speaker. As you have stated and as I speak, there is a security operation in my constituency which is not being enforced through the law. I was the Chairman of this Committee as we were winding up the last Parliament. Hon. Members who were in that Parliament remember most of the reports we brought to this Parliament had only one conclusion: annul all the regulations in entirety. Do you know why? Most regulation-making bodies had many issues. The regulations they made had issues. Either they never conducted public participation, which is a key element in our Constitution, or something else. Those who were going to be the users of those regulations would suffer in a very big way. As you make your ruling on this matter, and as correctly stated and quoted by the Leader of the Majority Party, let your ruling not only become a reminder of the existence of this Committee, but also an enforcement of the rule of law. As I finish, I have noticed another mischief. I urge the Hon. Members, especially the Leader of the Majority Party, that there is another mischief in State agencies in ministries. They are used to hiding bad laws. They use this omnibus thing called the Miscellaneous (Amendment) Bill to hide bad laws. They know Members will not have time to scrutinise everything. Hon. Speaker, as you make your ruling on the matter of delegated legislation, that is a matter you may want to consider. Very many State agencies have taken advantage of it and amended laws in a way that is not helpful to the citizens. Hon. Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity."
