Fahmi: 10-year PM term limit Bill to be retabled in June after vote falls short

PUTRAJAYA, March 4 — Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil today said the constitutional amendment to limit the tenure of the prime minister to 10 years will be retabled in the Dewan Rakyat in June, after the Bill failed to secure the required two-thirds majority during the previous parliamentary session. He said the matter was discussed at the Cabinet meeting today and that the government was committed to reintroducing the Bill. "We will retable it in June. We need to get the support of the MPs," he told reporters after the launch of the National Digital Network (JENDELA) plan's Phase 2 here today.
