I’ll back bill to limit PM’s post to Malays, says Wan Fayhsal

PETALING JAYA: Perikatan Nasional’s Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal said he will support any amendments to the Federal Constitution to restrict the prime minister’s position to Malays.

The Machang MP said this would help “restore confidence” among Malays who have been perturbed by recent remarks by DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang, who pointed out that the Federal Constitution does not bar a non-Malay from being the prime minister.

“As an MP, I will support it (amendment). I haven’t discussed this (with other PN MPs), but I suspect all of them will support it as it will give us real political stability,” Wan Fayhsal told FMT.
