BUTTERWORTH: DAP provided assurances today that it will not permit any re-amendments to the Penang state constitution two-term limit for the chief minister’s post.
State DAP chairman Chow Kon Yeow said party secretary-general Anthony Loke also did not agree to amend the state constitution to allow unlimited terms for a chief minister.
“I don’t know who made the suggestion but obviously DAP will not allow it to happen,” he told reporters after officiating the Pakatan Harapan (PH) operations centre for Perai constituency here today.
He was addressing claims there were efforts to amend the state constitution to allow former chief ministers who have served two terms to be reappointed to that position.
