All abuzz over GE15

Missed timing? Some people feel that Umno should have acted decisively to call for an election after Barisan’s big victory in the Johor state polls in March this year. — THOMAS YONG/The Star

THERE is an angry buzz from the Umno faction that wants the 15th General Election (GE15) to be held as soon as possible. They suspect Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob will only call it next year.

The mood has changed compared with last week, when word was that GE15 was on and that it would happen in September or October this year. In fact, Umno contacts close to the leaders were claiming there would be polls in the next few weeks.
