KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 – Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo says there is no reason to dissolve Parliament while the MADANI Government continues to function effectively.
He said Malaysia remains politically stable and its economy is moving in a positive direction. The country also continues to attract interest from foreign investors.
Gobind stressed that the decision to dissolve Parliament rests with Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
“The dissolution of Parliament is at the discretion of the Prime Minister, who has the authority to determine the matter. At present, the Cabinet is functioning effectively,” he said.
He made the remarks after launching National AI Readiness Week 2026 in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
Gobind Rejects Pressure for Early Election
Gobind, who also chairs DAP nationally, said it was unreasonable to pressure Anwar to dissolve Parliament.
He believes the government should focus on strengthening the country’s economy and maintaining its current progress.
He also said there was no need to continue discussing Parliament’s dissolution when the Cabinet was performing its duties effectively.
Cabinet Vacancy Sparks Political Debate
The issue has drawn attention following discussions about whether Parliament should be dissolved or the Cabinet reshuffled.
The debate emerged as the senatorial term of Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan is due to expire on Dec 11.
Some calls have emerged for Parliament to be dissolved instead of making changes to the Cabinet.
However, Gobind maintained that the government remains functional and that the Prime Minister has the authority to decide on the matter.
