PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has launched a petition against holding the general election during this year’s monsoon season.
This comes as Umno intensifies its pressure on Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob to hold the 15th general election (GE15) as soon as possible.
Rafizi said if Parliament is dissolved a month from now, the election would be held during the monsoon season.
“(Holding the) GE15 during floods means more than RM1 billion will be used to manage the election when the people’s funds would be better off being channelled to flood mitigation efforts.
