Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil says the proposed 10-year cap on the Prime Minister’s tenure can be retabled in the upcoming parliamentary sittings, stressing that the amendment is about strengthening governance and accountability, not extending Anwar Ibrahim’s time in office
The proposed constitutional amendment to cap the prime minister’s tenure at 10 years failed to secure a two-thirds majority in the Dewan Rakyat, drawing sharp reactions from leaders within the Madani coalition who described the outcome as a missed opportunity for institutional reform
Independent MP Syed Abu Hussin Hafiz declined to back a proposed 10-year cap on the prime minister’s tenure, arguing that Anwar Ibrahim should be allowed to remain in office beyond two terms if he continues to perform well
