Jeffrey had said that Malaysia should emulate the examples of developed nations and not follow the footsteps of nations that have a history of long serving leaders with reputation for tyranny and dictatorship.He also said the country should continually evolve with a proper succession of leaders so that new ideas for growth and development can be implemented and generations can enhance old policies with new ones. Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Deputy President, Senator Chin Su Phin, later said the UBF's call merits serious consideration.He, however, disagreed that the same policy should be imposed for the Prime Minister post.

Chin said limiting the tenure of the Prime Minister to two terms would render it inadequate to see results of the implemented policies. Instead, he said, the Prime Minister post should be for three terms.
