Zahid: What's wrong with holding GE during monsoon season – Dr M did it in 1999

PETALING JAYA: There should be no issue with calling a general election during monsoon season as former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad did it in 1999, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi tells critics.

The Umno president said the Opposition is trying to incite the rakyat by saying that holding snap polls towards the end of the year will expose them to the risk of floods.
