PETALING JAYA: The finance ministry has confirmed that the national budget will be tabled on Friday amid speculation that Parliament could be dissolved before then.
A ministry spokesman confirmed to the press that the tabling of the budget by finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz would proceed as scheduled.
There has been intense speculation that Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob may seek the dissolution of Parliament before Oct 7.
Earlier today, Ismail stressed that other political parties had no say in the dissolution of Parliament.
Opposition politicians, as well as those from Perikatan Nasional, have been speaking out against early elections, citing the monsoon season, the economic situation, the effects of the pandemic, and year-end festivities. — Free Malaysia Today
