Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and Sabah Pakatan Harapan have rejected calls to dissolve Parliament, maintaining that the decision rests solely with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

MELAKA: Any calls for Parliament to be dissolved earlier than scheduled are unwarranted as the matter falls under the Prime Minister’s prerogative, said Agriculture and Food Security Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu.

Speaking to reporters at the Semarak Tani Gathering in Merlimau today, he said any decision on the matter should be left entirely to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s consideration, without pressure from any party.

Mohamad Sabu was commenting on Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s statement yesterday that it would be better to dissolve Parliament to pave the way for a general election than to reshuffle the Cabinet.
