Cabinet ministers split over GE15 dates, says report


PETALING JAYA: Cabinet ministers are still split on the decision of whether to hold the 15th General Election (GE15) this year.

While a number of Umno ministers were keen for the polls to be held immediately, other ministers, mostly from Perikatan Nasional, had opposed the proposal in favour of focusing on current economic issues and flood disaster management for the upcoming monsoon season, reported Utusan Malaysia.
