Ahmad Zahid Hints Again That Ge14 To Be Held Before Aidilfitri
TELUK INTAN, Feb 18 (Bernama) -- Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi today hinted again that the 14th general election (GE14) will be held before Hari Raya Aidilfitri.
"We have just celebrated Chinese New Year. Next, we will celebrate Aidilfitri. However, before that Hari Raya, we will have another 'Raya' (general election)," he said in his speech at the Semarak Mahabbah event at the Sekolah Agama Maahd Al-Islah, Sungai Manik here today.
Also present at the ceremony were Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister, who is also Pasir Salak Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Tajuddin Abdul Rahman and the school principal Agus Lokman Sulam.
Last November, Ahmad Zahid gave an indication that the GE14 will be held after the Chinese New Year celebration this year.
The Barisan Nasional-led government's five-year term will expire on June 24 and the GE14 must be held within 60 days after that date.
At the event, Ahmad Zahid also announced an allocation of RM680,000 to the school to improve its infrastructure, including to build a futsal court and to install a water tank and fire hydrant.
