Abstract

Omnibus legislation as an unorthodox law-making product will remain to be there due to the efficiency, subject-matter complexity, and technological convergence. Malaysia has the experience of legislating law of this character such as in the Communications and Multimedia Act, the Financial Services Act, and Budget Acts. The lawmakers’ increasing capacity and capability will further make it a norm than an exception: sources availability, staff education, research, and big data. Due to its “unorthodoxy” Omnibus legislation will remain controversial, and may interrupt the political stability. Omnibus legislation will remain as a product of political negotiation. Controlling the downside of Omnibus legislation can be done through several ways including putting the limit on the law-making itself (e.g. the States in the US restricts legislation only for a specific subject matter). Eventually, the courts would still have control over the interpretation and the constitutionality of the law.
