KUALA LUMPUR (The Straits Times/ANN): Calls for snap polls in Malaysia are getting harder to resist for Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin's ruling pact following the opposition's intractable bickering over its prime ministerial candidate.

The Straits Times understands that some in Perikatan Nasional (PN) wish for ballots as early as August, which would lead to Parliament being dissolved before the government's slim majority can be tested in a highly anticipated July sitting.
