Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim pledged to introduce term-limit legislation, delivering on a long-promised campaign pledge as he looks to regain support from his key voter base.

Anwar said he would propose to parliament that prime ministers can only serve ten years or two full five-year terms, as part of a slew of legislative reforms planned for 2026.
