SEREMBAN: There is currently no pressure on Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to dissolve Parliament to pave the way for the 16th general election (GE16), says Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) vice-president Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.
He said the prime minister had his own considerations on the appropriate time to dissolve Parliament, adding that the Federal Government’s current term had yet to expire and Anwar continued to enjoy majority support among members of parliament.
“I think we should wait. There is no pressure to make any sudden move to dissolve Parliament.
“We should wait until the end of the term, unless something drastic happens. We should prioritise the positive economic momentum that the people are enjoying today,” he told reporters after officiating the 2026 National Wanita Muda Amanah Convention (Warda) at Klana Resort here today.
Dzulkefly, who is also health minister, was commenting on calls for Parliament to be dissolved following the Melaka election, in which BN and PN secured a combined 24 seats while Pakatan Harapan (PH) won four.
He said the people should first be given the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of the Unity Government’s efforts, citing positive economic indicators, foreign investments and rising household incomes.
He also said Malaysia’s economic performance had received recognition from international analytical bodies, claiming the country ranked among the world’s 15 best-performing economies after climbing 19 places.
Dzulkefly said any move that could undermine political and economic stability or national harmony was undesirable, adding that the people’s well-being should remain the priority.
