KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 2 — PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has claimed that Umno is pushing for the general election this year due to falling support for the party among Malay voters.

“If the support was so strong, it would not matter if the election was held in November or next February or April,” Rafizi was quoted as saying during an “Ayuh Malaysia” campaign last night byRafizi said the Opposition’s main concern was that holding the elections during the monsoon season would put many lives at risk and reduce both manpower and funds to help flood victims.

“Instead, the government wants to risk it all by considering holding the election in November,” he said. “In terms of powers and controlling floods during the monsoon season, the prime minister still has the powers, and it would be difficult for the Opposition to shine during this period.
