PRIME Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin faces greater pressure to dissolve Parliament following Gabungan Rakyat Sabah’s victory in the just-concluded Sabah election, say political analysts.
Prof Dr Ahmad Atory Hussain, a senior lecturer at Universiti Sains Malaysia, said Perikatan Nasional is expected to strike while the iron is hot and call for snap polls, adding that Umno especially would want to press Muhyiddin to dissolve the Dewan Rakyat soonest while the situation still favours it.
On the latest threat coming from Pakatan Harapan leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Ahmad Atory said even if Muhyiddin is reluctant to dissolve Parliament, he might be forced to call for a general election because of pressure from PN component parties.Singapore Institute of International Affairs senior fellow Oh Ei Sun echoed Ahmad Atory’s view that Muhyiddin is under greater pressure after the defeat of former Sabah chief minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal’s Warisan Plus.
“Had Shafie won, he could at least delay calling for the election, keep his premiership and consolidate his power. Now, he has to call for an election or even face an immediate challenge to his premiership.”
