Malaysia's lower house of parliament has narrowly rejected a constitutional amendment that would limit the premiership to two terms. The amendment, part of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's ruling coalition, was defeated by 146 lawmakers, falling just two short of the two-thirds majority required to pass. The opposition argued that the amendment could undermine the king's authority to appoint a prime minister. This comes as parliament debates another bill aimed at separating the attorney general's dual role as government's top legal adviser and public prosecutor.
