Dissolve in late July, GE15 in early September

By- Bakhtiar Omar

The parliamentary session which started yesterday is expected to be the last session for this term. This follows speculation that Parliament will dissolve in late July and GE15 expected in early September by independent political analysts.

Admittedly, the Keluarga Malaysia Government under the leadership of Dato Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob has not reached the highest level, dissolution action must be done immediately to restore the people’s confidence in the democratic process.

Weather factors also play an important role in enabling GE15 to be held in early September as the monsoon season usually starts in October.

NO MORE ‘WOW FACTOR’ TOWARDS GE15

Almost all Malaysian political parties do not have the “wow factor” to face GE15, but the action of dissolving parliament is inevitable.

The 2023 Budget is no longer a necessary ‘wow factor’ contributor and no longer attracts the attention of the people as a whole.

Looking at the calendar of the Dewan Rakyat session, it is not possible for the presentation of the 2023 Budget to be done as usual.

They have experienced the rule of 3 eras in one term of Parliament starting with the ‘Hikayat’ of Pakatan Harapan, followed by the ‘Dongeng’ of Perikatan Nasional and now facing the ‘Ceritera’ of the Keluarga Malaysia.

Now the people need to re-evaluate what form of government they want and shape it in GE15. Maybe it’s time for the people to correct their mistakes in GE14.

THE PEOPLE ARE ‘SICK’ OF THE EXISTENCE OF A FRAGILE GOVERNMENT THAT IS EASY TO BE THREATENED

The people are fed up with the political game of all parties, feeling they need a dominant government, not to be intimidated by threats.

They want a government that can guarantee the country’s economy and the people’s pockets so that they are not significantly stressed by rising world inflation.

With various issues plaguing recently, the people are increasingly confused as to the true direction of the Keluarga Malaysia government whose ties are quite fragile.

Although the Prime Minister and the opposition reached an agreement through an MoU to support Ismail Sabri, it will end at the end of July.

The MoU is said not to be extended as the maturity of the 14th Parliament is approaching.

ALL PARTIES LOSE POPULARITY, IT’S UP TO THE PEOPLE TO FORM A NEW GOVERNMENT MOLD

It can be said that the popularity of almost all political parties is declining because they have failed to show the commitment that the people expect.

However, the ego of political parties is still high and refuses to admit the weaknesses of their administration when given the opportunity to do so. Assuming they have done the best to the people and put their failures on the people is a big mistake of any political party.

Imagine if Ismail Sabri Yaakob came forward and admitted and apologized for his failure to control the Keluarga Malaysia cabinet and not being able to fulfill the aspirations and wishes of the people when announcing the dissolution of Parliament.

Ismail Sabri as the Vice President of UMNO, needs to think about his party’s political survival first before ‘kindly’’ thinking about the fate of the opposition party.
