Asked whether the election date was slated to ensure Parti Keadilan Rakyat de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim could not contest as he was forbidden by law to participate in the election until April 15, Abdullah replied:
"We have forgotten about Anwar. I didn’t think about Anwar and it (the election date) was not decided by me, please. It was decided by the Election Commission."
Betul ke?
Mengikut Perkara 55(4) Perlembagaan Persekutuan, pilihan raya umum mesti diadakan dalam tempoh 60 hari selepas pembubaran Parlimen.
Parlimen bubar pada 14 Feb Maka kalau ikut perlembagaan , selewat lewatnya Praya boleh diadakan pada 13 atau 14 April. DSAI hanya boleh bertanding pada 15 April ke atas. Takkan tu pun nak salahkan SPR pulak, kita yang bubar awal SPR hanya boleh tetapkan tarikh dalam lingkungan tu sajalah.
