Respecting the caretaker government convention

MANY predict that sometime next year, Parliament will be dissolved to make way for the 14th General Election. When this happens, the state legislative assemblies will also be dissolved, except for Sarawak which held its elections last year.

It is not known whether the general election will take place this year or sometime next year. But what is certain is that the 13th Parliament of Malaysia can be dissolved at any time between now and June 2018 - when it dissolves automatically.
