Bill to limit PM's tenure to be retabled in June

KUALA LUMPUR - It’s a big let-down for Malaysians.
We would have thought that our Members of Parliament (MPs) would support the rare and defining moment to back the long-awaited reform initiative, the Constitution (Amendment) Bill 2026, which cuts across political divides.

PETALING JAYA – Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has admitted feeling awkward about sitting next to Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin in the Dewan Rakyat, especially after Hamzah recently labelled him as his “number one enemy”.
Muhyiddin, who is Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia president and Pagoh MP, said this was among the reasons he did not attend Parliament this week.
“I did not go to Parliament (this week), firstly because I was not feeling well.“Secondly, when I heard I would be sitting next to Hamzah... I didn’t want to sit there. To be frank, it’s not that I wanted to be absent, but it would be awkward, wouldn’t it?” he said during a special interview with local media at the Bersatu headquarters here on Monday.
