IN light of desperation of sorts by UMNO’s court cluster-linked top brass for Malaysia’s 15th General Election (GE15) to be staged this year – even if that means electorates have to risk their lives wading through life threatening flood waters – it does make sense for the Yang di Pertuan Agong to refuse dissolution of Parliament.

Amid concerns of monsoon and massive flood disasters, 81 year-old DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang feels strongly that the King should practise such utmost discretion unless there is a vote of no-confidence motion in Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob in Parliament.

“Isn’t it the responsibility of a government, especially one sloganeering Keluarga Malaysia (Malaysian Family) to give priority to reduce the losses and casualties which could be caused by the monsoon and the floods this year than to hold an early general election?” asked the MP for Iskandar Puteri.
