PUTRAJAYA: A bill to limit the Prime Minister’s term to no more than 10 years or two full terms has been drafted by the government and will be tabled in Parliament this year, said Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. “Everyone has a term limit, the Chief Secretary to the Government cannot be up to 10 years. He said the Bill to limit the PM’s term will be tabled when the next Parliament sitting resumes at the end of the month, together with another proposed Bill to separate the powers of the Attorney-General and the Public Prosecutor, the freedom of information bill, and the Ombudsman Bill. Anwar also shared a light moment with civil servants when he announced the bill to limit the prime minister’s term. Historically, Malaysia had no term limits for its prime ministers, allowing them to serve indefinitely as long as they maintain parliamentary support.
