    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Chairman. Even as we pass this Bill, I would want to give a word of caution to the Majority side, which sponsors Bills of this nature. The essence of Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills is really to make corrections where possible. Although there were minimal serious amendments in this Bill, in future, we do not expect serious amendments to be introduced to the House through a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bills, because it causes a lot of confusion in terms of analysis and scrutiny of the Bill. So, I would urge that if the Government wants to introduce serious legislative amendments, they do so through substantive amendment Bills. My experience in the Eleventh Parliament is that we legislate on Bills quite faster as opposed to what I witnessed in previous Parliaments. So, we can legislate as many laws as possible."
