KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 6 — Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob will have a “routine meeting” with the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on Thursday, a spokesperson said, as he faces calls to seek consent from the monarch to call an election ahead of schedule this year.
Ismail’s government is scheduled to table Budget 2023 in Parliament on Friday, the Finance Ministry has said, putting to rest some speculation that a dissolution could be announced before then. “It’s just a normal, routine meeting that the PM has with the king before the cabinet meeting,” the spokesperson said. They did not comment on whether Ismail Sabri would seek dissolution of parliament.
Malaysia is a constitutional monarchy and the king typically acts on the prime minister’s advice. But the king does have certain discretionary powers, including withholding consent for dissolution of the parliament.
