KUALA LUMPUR – Dissolving Parliament before Budget 2023 is passed may create a crisis if a new budget by a new government is voted down, the Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih) said.
It condemned the move to dissolve Parliament and hold the 15th general election (GE15) soon, expressing concern about the budget’s re-tabling and whether it will be passed, thus causing further political instability.
“Bersih is concerned that regardless of whichever parties come to power, they would need to table its budget again, be it the same or a different one.
“This may become a crisis point, resulting in the collapse of the new government if its budget is voted down by its coalition partners,” Bersih’s steering committee said in a statement today.
