KUALA LUMPUR: A specific law should be introduced to allow any government to remain in power and complete its full five-year term, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, following the latest rumours of another plot to oust the unity government.

The Deputy Prime Minister said if a single party or a coalition of smaller parties managed to form a government and received the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, then it should remain in power until the end of its term.
