MELAKA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim should not bow to political pressure to dissolve Parliament ahead of schedule.

DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke said the power and prerogative to advise the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the dissolution of Parliament rested solely with the Prime Minister.

“We know they are trying to capitalise on the current momentum to pressure the Prime Minister into dissolving Parliament.

“But I am confident the Prime Minister will not bow to pressure because he still has the mandate and sufficient support in Parliament to continue his administration. He still has another year left in his mandate,” he told reporters after attending a Pakatan Harapan (PH) ceramah in Batu Berendam.
