Barisan Nasional (BN), under the leadership of Zahid Hamidi, is in deep trouble the moment Prime Minister Ismail Sabri was pressured to hijack King Sultan Abdullah for an unscheduled meeting. Disappointed, the monarch granted the request to dissolve the Parliament, paving the way for the 15th General Election in the middle of monsoon season. People obviously were angry.
Perikatan Nasional (PN), under the leadership of Mahiaddin Yassin, had tried to stop the PM from dissolving the Parliament. Afraid that they would lose power and position, 12 of its ministers wrote to the Agong (King) to reject the dissolution of Parliament. It was then used by UMNO as an excuse to justify the dissolution – the PN’s action was tantamount to a no-confidence vote against Sabri.
Pakatan Harapan (PH), under the leadership of Anwar Ibrahim, had also rejected the dissolution of the Parliament as it was done with bad intention – to free UMNO president Zahid Hamidi from all his pending criminal charges. It provided the opposition with the ammunition to condemn selfish BN who would rather see people die and suffer from flood just to save some UMNO crooks.
