Pros and cons of a two-term PM


THE proposal that the tenure of the Malaysian prime minister should be limited to two terms – which means 10 years – has sparked significant debate as people weigh the benefits of stability against the risks of concentrated power.

On the positive side, a decade in office could provide the continuity needed to implement long-term policies effectively. This stability might foster sustained economic growth, improved infrastructure, and consistent governance, all of which are essential for national development.
