Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Pakatan Harapan leaders have expressed their support to the State Cabinet's decision to limit the Chief Minister's tenure to two terms.

Api-Api assemblywoman Datuk Christina Liew led a courtesy call to the Chief Minister's office in the State Legislative Assembly complex to convey the support on Tuesday.

“During the courtesy visit to Datuk Hajiji as Chief Minister at the end of last year, the proposal to limit the appointment of Chief Minister to only two terms was among the Sabah reform agendas that we submitted to him," Liew said in a statement.

“Today, the House was informed that the Sabah State Cabinet has in principle agreed on the proposal to limit the term of Chief Minister to two terms only. The amendment of the State Constitution will be tabled in the next state assembly session if it gets support from the state assemblymen."

Sabah DAP chairman and Tanjung Papat assemblyman Datuk Frankie Poon, Kadamaian representative Datuk Ewon Benedick and Likas assemblyperson Tan Lee Fatt accompanied Liew during the visit.
