He also denied that today’s Cabinet meeting would be the last with his present team of ministers before Parliament is dissolved to pave the way for the next general election.

“What makes you think that? How do you know it’s going to be the last Cabinet meeting (before elections are called)?” he asked when responding to a question.

Latest news as of 2pm just now:

Parliament dissolved, elections on

Quoting the news again:

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has announced that Parliament has been dissolved, paving the way for the 12th general election.

At a hastily convened press conference at his office Wednesday afternoon, he said he had met the Yang Di Pertuan Agong in the morning and received His Majesty’s consent to dissolve Parliament.

“I’ve informed Parliament and the Election Commission,” Abdullah said. The state assemblies have also been advised to dissolve.

Hastily done or not, the election would be on within 60 days of Parliament dissolution. Let’s see when the election will happened. I’m just gonna adjust my tv mount so that the TV will stay put and not fell off the stand in case anything goes wrong. Heh.
