Lianhe Zaobao reported that recently, Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahi said at a press conference that he proposed the government to formulate a new bill to ensure that the government after each general election can govern until the expiration of the parliament. He said this can prevent Malaysia from having another "one election, three prime ministers" situation, and the government can also focus on governing the country. The Minister of the Prime Minister's Office responsible for legal and institutional reform, Ashina, subsequently issued a statement announcing that her department will continue to conduct in-depth research on the periodic parliamentary law and listen to public opinions, and finally submit it to the cabinet for discussion.

It is understood that according to the current system in Malaysia, as long as more than half of the members of parliament support it, the existing government can be overthrown. This has led to opposition parties often using bribery or other means to win over members of parliament and overthrow the ruling party by "gathering heads".

The authorities say that many countries around the world have implemented regular parliamentary systems and agreed on election schedules, which can ensure political and economic stability and prevent any coups that attempt to undermine democratic systems. But the Islamic Party of Malaysia stated that this is absurd and contrary to the constitution and democracy, as the Malaysian Federal Constitution allows Malaysia to change its government without an election, and the Prime Minister must step down once he loses the support of more than half of the members of parliament.
