Institutionalising term limits for political offices in Malaysia

WHEN Pakatan Harapan (PH) won the 14th general election in 2018, one of its key promises was to institute term limits for the offices of prime minister, chief minister and menteri besar in which they were to serve only for the maximum of two terms.

The bill to limit the prime minister to two terms was tabled in December 2019 but was subsequently withdrawn by the new government after the fall of the PH government following the Sheraton move in 2020.
