Malaysia to Implement Two-Term Limit for Prime Ministers

Malaysia to Implement Two-Term Limit for Prime Ministers

Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced plans to limit the prime minister's term to two terms, or 10 years.

This is part of a bigger plan to make the government more transparent and less corrupt.

He also wants to separate the roles of the attorney-general to reduce political interference in the courts.

Additionally, new laws are proposed to make it easier for people to report problems in the government and to prevent misuse of power.

These changes are promised to be introduced in the next two years.

Anwar came into office in 2022 promising to fight corruption, but some people think he hasn't done enough yet.
