The Johor speaker's office has not received any application letter to dissolve the state assembly.
This was confirmed by the speaker Suhaizan Kaiat (above) today following a claim by a portal, which had been viralled on social media, that he had received such a letter.
"No, the information by the portal is not true," he told Bernama when contacted today.
Earlier, a portal claimed that Johor Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad had sent a letter to the speaker's office yesterday seeking the dissolution of the state assembly.
Rumours of a state election are rife following the death of Kempas assemblyperson Osman Sapian last month, leaving the Umno-led state government with only a one-seat majority in the Johor state assembly.
Currently, BN has 28 seats in the state assembly, comprising Umno (14 seats), MIC (two), Bersatu (11) and PAS (one), while Pakatan Harapan has 27 seats, namely DAP (14), PKR (seven) and Amanah (six).
