KUALA LANGAT: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called for a Bill limiting the prime minister's tenure to two terms, or a maximum of 10 years, to be expedited and passed at the next parliamentary sitting. The Prime Minister said a decade is sufficient for any prime minister to implement reform agendas and key national policies before making way for new leadership. Asked whether the limit would apply to himself, Anwar stressed the law must begin with him. The proposal to cap the prime minister's tenure at two terms is widely seen as part of broader institutional reform efforts to strengthen democratic practices and governance. On another development, Anwar said he would receive Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong for an informal meeting later in the evening.
