JOHOR BAHRU - Only the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has the prerogative power to decide on the dissolution of Parliament to make way for the 15th General Election (GE15) and the decision is not to be made by others.
Bersatu Supreme Leadership Council (MPT) member Datuk Rosol Wahid said whether the Parliament was dissolved or not soon would be decided by the King.
"The Yang di-Pertuan Agong possesses full prerogative power, we have to wait and see what happens because it is a long way to go.
"If it (Parliament) is dissolved, there would be a General Election, if not, there might be other changes, the episodes is similar to that of a Korean drama, maybe there would be changes in the cabinet and changes following the change in the cabinet.
"The changes (in leaderships) for GLCs (government-linked companies) had effected many," he told reporters after the state level retail sector digitalisation initiative programme at Bazar Karat, here, on Thursday night.
On Thursday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob met the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah and among the speculations of the meeting was said to be regarding the dissolution of Parliament for GE15.
The Umno vice-president had met the party’s president, Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at Menara Dato Onn, World Trade Centre (WTC) after the meeting with His Majesty.
Rosol said he hoped that all parties especially those who wanted the election to be held immediately to think about the people who were just starting to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic and who were soon to face the floods.
The Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) Minister said a few states had begun to face floods such as Johor, Penang and Perak.
"Now is not the time for politics, we must find a way to think and provide attention for the comfort and safety of the people, that is how it should be," he said.
