PM term limits welcomed, but dual roles still a concern

PRIME Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's commitment to fulfilling Pakatan Harapan's election pledge by amending the Federal Constitution to limit the Prime Minister's term to two terms (or 10 years) is a welcome development. However, we also urge the government to honour its previous stance that the Prime Minister should not concurrently hold the position of Finance Minister.

The pledge to limit the Prime Minister’s term to two terms was a key promise made by Pakatan Harapan during the 2022 general election.
