SHAH ALAM - The dissolution of Parliament should be discussed with all the political parties involved in forming a coalition in the government before getting the cabinet’s approval and consent from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.
Supreme Leadership Council (MPT) member Datuk Seri Mohd Redzuan Md Yusof said the matter was important to avoid clashes during seat distribution.
He said mistakes pertaining to the issue will affect the unity that has been achieved before.
"We need to realise that today, the government is a coalition of PN, BN and Gabungan Parti Sarawak.
"Indeed, failure to unite will only harm and benefit other parties," he said in a statement on Wednesday.
The statement was made following a report that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was expected to hold a meeting with the top five leaders (Top 5) of Umno to discuss the date of the 15th General Election (GE15) which was likely to be held earlier before the presentation of the 2023 Budget on Oct 7.
The discussion also involved other Umno component partners in the BN coalition such as MCA and MIC.
At the same time, Mohd Redzuan also reminded the government to focus on the welfare of the people and the recovery of the country's economy.
