Malaysia PM Says Won’t Delay Dissolving Parliament Once Ready

Malaysia Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he would not delay the dissolution of parliament, amid continued pressure from his party to hold a general election as soon as possible.

“To face the 15th general election, Barisan Nasional must be prepared,” Ismail said, referring to the ruling coalition. “I say that once we are prepared, I won’t delay for even a second to dissolve parliament,” he added in his speech at the BN annual convention in Kuala Lumpur Wednesday.
