Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim said Monday he would introduce legislation this year to limit the prime minister's term to a maximum 10 years, fulfilling one of his campaign promises.
Speaking to ministers and civil servants after a cabinet meeting, Anwar cautioned against clinging to power and reminded them that "everyone has a term limit" without exception.
"We will table a bill to limit the term of the prime minister, not exceeding 10 years or two full terms," Anwar said in a special New Year's announcement.
After serving the term, "it is better for us to hand it over to the next generation", he added.
There is currently no term limit and former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad was in power for 22 years during his first tenure until he stepped down in 2003.
