PETALING JAYA: The question on everyone’s mind is when the general election (GE) will be held, but another round of frenzied speculation is expected after the Prime Minister has made it clear that the timing must be correct.

While political pundits believe the time is right for national polls to be held and some in Umno want it as soon as possible, several lawmakers are of the opinion that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob should not be pushed to decide on this now.
