#KiniNews: PM term limit bill fails - It wasn't me, says Rafizi; 'Why blame the opposition?' - Hamzah

[KiniNews] Pandan MP Rafizi Ramli has clarified that he voted in favour of the bill to limit the prime minister’s term to 10 years.This came amid rife speculation about who the eight government MPs absent during the vote were.The constitutional amendment was just two votes short of being passed.Meanwhile, in a separate story, opposition leader Hamzah Zainudin questioned those blaming the opposition, arguing that the government should have ensured it had the numbers.“I would like to teach the government a lesson. If they want to pass a law requiring a two-thirds majority, they have to call each and every government MP to ensure their attendance," he said.Hamzah reiterated that the opposition bench had abstained from the vote, taking into consideration the needed improvements to the proposed amendments._________________Support independent media, subscribe to Malaysiakini.com - https://membership.malaysiakini.com/membership/start?internal_source=kinitv
