Malaysia PM Ismail to discuss Umno's calls for snap polls with Cabinet

KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said on Saturday that he will discuss the dissolution of Parliament, which would pave the way for snap polls, with his party Umno's leadership and with his Cabinet.

In an address to more than 5,500 party members towards the end of the assembly, Datuk Seri Ismail, an Umno vice-president, said that he had"heard" the calls for dissolution among the delegates. "This will also be discussed by the Umno Supreme Council and the Cabinet before it is presented to the King," he added.

Mr Ismail, who appeared to be sidelined throughout the assembly, spent nearly an hour announcing a slew of new investments and new policies by his government. He was addressing the delegates as a vice-president."I listened to the debates raised by delegates and the voice of the people," Mr Ismail said."Therefore, I would like to announce that the minimum wage of RM1,500 a month will begin on May 1 nationwide.
