Eh? Parliament Dissolved?

February 13th, 2008 | Politics by ParisB

Wait a minute… I’m reading on various blogs that Parliament has ALREADY been dissolved? Time of writing 11.53am. I don’t read Kit Siang, but followed a link there.

Oh and here’s a really fascinating news excerpt from The Guardian (UK Newspaper):

Malaysia PM to call for snap poll Wednesday -source

* Reuters
* Wednesday February 13 2008

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Malaysian Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has received consent from the country’s king to dissolve parliament and call for fresh elections, a source close to the prime minister said on Wednesday.
Separately, an aide to the premier said Abdullah would hold a news conference later on Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. local time (0430 GMT), though he declined to give further details. A senior editor at television station TV3 said the channel was on standby to air an important announcement from the premier.
The source said the Election Commission would decide on the poll date in coming days but it was likely to be held within the first 10 days of March.

They get these news more accurately halfway across the world than we do here in Malaysia!

Now come come… in the spirit of the Chinese New Year, anyone wanna take bets on when the polling day will be? Will it be a public holiday? Woohoo!
