KUALA LUMPUR, March 18 — Malaysia should introduce reforms by placing a two-term limit for the prime minister position, and also reduce the powers concentrated in his hands and redistribute them to others, a collective of 60 civil society groups have proposed.
"The powers should instead be distributed among state and local authorities. Similarly, the PM’s powers should also be distributed to Sabah and Sarawak, especially in handling the education framework and funds in the respective states," the collective said. As for director-generals in government agencies, the groups urged for transparency to ensure appointments to these roles are made based on merit and performance.
The groups proposed for MPs to instead elect the Speaker, the deputy Speakers and the Dewan Rakyat's secretary. The report said all MPs and state assemblymen should respectively attend all sittings of Parliament and state legislative assemblies “unless debilitated by illness”.
