Chief Minister Musa Aman has shrugged off United Borneo Front (UBF) president Jeffrey Kitingan's suggestion to the federal government to put in place a national policy, limiting the term of prime minister, menteri besar and chief ministers, to just two terms.
"They are entitled to their opinions," he told reporters after attending a Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) open house at the Maksak Hall near here today.
Musa, who is also state Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman, declined further comment on the matter.
Jeffrey, the former Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) vice-president who now heads non-governmental organisations UBF and Borneo Heritage Foundation, was recently quoted as wanting an end to the country's current system which allowed the prime minister or chief minister to stay in power for decades.
“We should emulate the examples of developed nations and not follow in the footsteps of nations which have a history of long-serving leaders."
According to the former Internal Security Act detainee, if the leadership could be refreshed after every two terms, entire generations would not be by-passed in the decision-making process.
Meanwhile, Musa said the Hari Raya open house paved the way for exchanging visits and greetings among family members and friends in the spirit of goodwill.
