SHAH ALAM – Law minister Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar has brushed off speculations that Parliament might be dissolved on Sept 1 to make way for elections on Oct 8.

Wan Junaidi said cyber troopers might have initiated the speculations.

“It's like how they did it before over which minister is becoming this or which minister is becoming that. It’s the same, it’s all the same story,” he said during the Singapore National day reception.

Photos of Parliament may be dissolved by September 1 and elections on Oct 8 were widely circulated on social media yesterday.

He said he is confident that the prime minister may wait to announce the national budget.

He also added another factor to be taken into consideration is the weather.

“We have to take into account the monsoon season in November and December in Peninsula Malaysia and monsoon in Sarawak in January and February,” he said.

He also said that it is up to the King and the prime minister to decide on the dissolution of the Parliament.

He hoped for the political funding bill will be completed before the parliament is dissolved.
