PRIME Minister Muhyiddin Yassin should immediately dissolve parliament and call for an election, said Umno deputy president Mohamad Hasan.

Take a cue from Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong, who has called for early elections to obtain a strong mandate, Mohamad tells Muhyiddin.

“It is better for Muhyiddin to call for an election immediately without thinking too long,” said Mohamad in a statement

“Malaysia has not been in an unstable political situation since Merdeka. Our development and peace are depending on our political stability.”

The former Negri Sembilan menteri besar said the way things stand, it is hard for the Perikatan Nasional government to pass laws, including the budget, in parliament.

He said only a government with a strong mandate could function properly and focus on fixing the country’s economy.

“To fix our economy we need a stable government and a parliament able to provide checks and balances.

“The country cannot be dragged into these uncertainties including the possibility of a change of government in a few months.

“The real power belongs to the people and no one else especially to some blocs that were created just for political power.”

Muhyiddin’s wafer-thin majority in Dewan Rakyat has caused uncertainty in the stability of his four-month-old government.

Waiting on the sidelines are Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Anwar Ibrahim, both trying to build coalitions to replace the PN government. – June 25, 2020.
