Parliament Dissolves Today! Gearing up for Elections!!

The parliament dissolved today and Malaysians are gearing up for elections! This will be our country's 12th election and my 2nd election as a voter.

Election rules
The general election must be held within 60 days of Parliament being dissolved, in accordance with Article 55(4) of the Federal Constitution.

Once Dewan Rakyat is dissolved, the tenure of all MPs automatically ends, which also means that they stop enjoying the privileges, perks, and powers related to their function.

Until the next Parliament is convened, the country is run by a caretaker government.

The caretaker government's role is to keep the government machinery running, and should not involve making policy changes or formulating new legislation.
