Mujibu Abd Muis of Universiti Teknologi Mara said the age limit for candidates should be set at 60. Candidates should also undergo a health check to avoid having to call any by-elections later on.
Mujibu was commenting on the decision of former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is 97, to seek re-election at the coming general election.
He acknowledged that parties in power will want to choose candidates according to the party’s needs.
