Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim stated during Prime Minister's Question Time at the Dewan Rakyat that his government should be given time to fulfill its mandate, rejecting calls for an early general election. He emphasized that Malaysians want political stability and economic growth, rather than being caught in a cycle of constant election campaigning. Anwar responded to Rosol Wahid (PN-Hulu Terengganu), who asked whether the government should "return the voice to the people" by calling an early election, citing the severity of the Hormuz crisis and domestic political instability.
