Federal political stability should remain the priority at this moment, as the unity government is facing various internal and external challenges, including coalition pressures, economic concerns, and security-related issues. Calling for a general election now would carry significant risks, as there is no guarantee the present federal government would retain power and continue governing effectively.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim should instead utilise the remaining term to repair political weaknesses, strengthen confidence within the coalition, and address issues affecting the people and the economy. The current parliamentary term still has several years remaining before its expected expiry in 2028, and there is sufficient time to restore political stability and public confidence.

In any elections, there is no guarantee that the government of the day could retain its position to continue as government, especially, when there are many unresolved issues affecting the economy and security of the country.

In Sarawak, the political situation remains stable under Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS). There is no urgency to dissolve the State Legislative Assembly prematurely, as the current term can continue until around April 2027. The coming 13th Sarawak State Election is widely expected to reaffirm GPS’s position in government.

A strong mandate in the next state election would further strengthen GPS midway through its new term. Should the Premier decide to retire in the future, he would leave behind a stable administration and a stronger political legacy for both GPS and the people of Sarawak.

Political stability and strong governance are essential to attracting foreign investment and ensuring continued economic growth and investor confidence in both Sarawak and Malaysia.
