In September, deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who is also Umno president, dared Pakatan Harapan to push for Parliament to be dissolved. (Bernama pic)MELAKA: Deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says dissolving Parliament would be better than a Cabinet reshuffle, amid talks of a shake-up following the impending departure of transport minister Loke Siew Fook.

“It would be best to seek a fresh mandate and then form a new Cabinet,” he told reporters after an event here.

He was commenting on an Utusan Malaysia report on a possible Cabinet reshuffle, with two ministers expected to vacate their posts.

Loke resigned in late September after former prime minister Najib Razak was granted a conditional pardon that would see him serve the remainder of his graft sentence under house arrest.
