Analysts: Hold GE15 now to stop numbers game and let Malaysians pick leaders


PETALING JAYA: The 15th General Election (GE15) should be called now if the government continues to be rattled by MPs seeking to be prime minister.

Azmi Hassan, a senior fellow at the Nusantara Academy for Strategic Research (NASR), said even if Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was replaced by someone with the support of more than 111 MPs, it would not ensure political stability in the country.
