PN could call for snap polls anytime - Azmin
The Perikatan Nasional (PN) government led by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has met the criteria to call for snap polls anytime, as it had overcome political, economic, and public health crises said International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali.
He said that while Malaysia was hit hard by the economic fallout caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the situation in the country had improved following a stimulus package announced by the government.

The Perikatan Nasional (PN) government led by Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has met the criteria to call for snap polls anytime, as it had overcome political, economic, and public health crises said International Trade and Industry Minister Azmin Ali.
The next general election could be held this year or next year, Azmin was quoted as saying by Sin Chew Daily at a dinner event in Johor Bahru yesterday.
He said it was important for all parties to get themselves ready and be united in facing the polls.
Azmin said that Pakatan Harapan, in its 22-month rule, was unable to resolve various issues faced by the people - something he said the PN government is trying to rectify.
"We are not destroying the country. The government will take care of the welfare of all people and we will continue to attract foreign direct investment to ensure the prosperity of the country," he said.
He said that while Malaysia was hit hard by the economic fallout caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the situation in the country had improved following a stimulus package announced by the government.
He also took a jab at Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Harapan for being unable to resolve the political impasse on the prime minister candidate.
Last month, Singapore's Straits Times reported that Muhyiddin was gearing up for snap elections by the year's end after tabling an "election budget".
Umno and PAS were also reportedly working to formalise the Muafakat Nasional coalition and preparing for the polls.
Covid 19 was well handled but that's all. PN has not done anything else except giving away freebies and increasing government debts significantly. PH could have done that too or for that matter any living breathing human being. Azmin stop gloating and stop trying to tell us your betrayal was for the good of us all. And as a senior minister in PH it is too convenient to brush it off your contribution to the rot.
I suppose AZMIN now realises that he and his group are the most vulnerable and have the most to lose. The rakyat would not likely forget and forgive him in GE15.
The picture shows all. Hardly anyone is paying attention.
