Dr. Mahathir said having the elections
during the haj season would allow the ‘rival parties’ to manipulate it and turn
it into an issue.
“we have done elections during the haj
season before, in 1978,” said Dr. Mahathir.
The veteran politican said keeping the
election date a secret was political tactic for the ruling government of the
day.
“The ruling government has the power to
decide whwn to dissolve Parliament.
“We do not announce it earlier so we can
have an advantage in term of preparation, even then, we cannot keep it a secret
100pc because the people are able to prefict it,” he added.
Dr. Mahathir who led Barisan Nasional in the
five general elections, said his last one in 1999 was the toughest.
