KUALA LUMPUR: The proposal to limit the prime minister’s tenure to a maximum of 10 years or two full terms is a bold and responsible move toward fostering a new political culture that is transparent, progressive, and democratic for the nation’s advancement.
PKR Women’s Information Chief Datuk Ginie Lim said the proposal reflects Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s political resolve to expedite the implementation of reform promises after decades in the opposition, and also demonstrates his commitment to driving change while in power, rather than after losing it.
“During Anwar‘s three years of leadership, the unity government has successfully maintained political stability, driven economic growth, and safeguarded the welfare of the people.
“PKR Women are confident that continued institutional reforms will enable Malaysians to benefit from the country’s growing wealth,” she said in a statement today.
As such, Lim said Anwar‘s leadership deserves continued support for another term to ensure institutional reform agendas can be fully implemented, helping to rid the country of systemic decay and corruption for the well-being of the people and a brighter future for Malaysia.
“In this regard, PKR Women fully support the prime minister’s efforts to continue leading and strengthening the government machinery to be more robust, effective, and with high integrity in implementing fiscal and economic policies under the Madani Economy framework,” she added.
