Sabah TYT can now serve for more than two terms

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah Yang di-Pertua Negri can now serve for more than two terms after the term limit was lifted during a special state assembly sitting here, despite objections from the opposition.

The amendment, which was passed yesterday, will allow the Sabah governor to serve beyond two terms of four years each, that is widely expected to see incumbent Tun Juhar Mahiruddin’s term as governor to be extended for a third term. Juhar’s second term ends on Dec 31.
