Anwar revives reform pledge, hints at Bill to limit PM’s tenure to 10 years

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 5 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim today hinted at the possibility of tabling a Bill to limit the prime minister’s term this year, reviving a reform pledge that was among Pakatan Harapan’s (PH) key electoral promises.

Anwar announced the move at a New Year’s special assembly held here, where he was flanked by Cabinet ministers.

The PH chairman said the Bill would likely be tabled at the upcoming Parliament sitting at the end of January, alongside another proposed law to separate the powers of the attorney general and the public prosecutor.

“Every position should have a term limit… this includes the prime minister’s, so we will table a Bill to limit the term of a prime minister to 10 years,” he said.
