#460 - Parliament Passes Law for President to Hold International Roles & Private-hire Driver Works 22 Hours to Win Challenge

This past week, Parliament debated and ultimately passed a law that allows the President and Ministers to hold international roles in their private capacity. They even backdated the law to Tharman’s inauguration date, prompting questions from Opposition MPs about the urgency of the constitutional change. Why the rush? Elsewhere, a private-hire driver clocked 22 hours of driving within a day to win a peer-organised competition. Can anyone be a safe driver after being on the road for 22 hours?
