JOHOR BARU: A PKR lawmaker has called the top five Umno leaders oligarchs for pushing for the 15th General Election (GE15) to be held this year.

Pasir Gudang MP Hassan Abdul Karim said the top five Umno leaders did not have legal powers in pressuring Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to dissolve Parliament to allow GE15 to be held in a situation where Malaysia was threatened with monsoon floods.
