**Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s Pakatan Harapan-led unity government faces mounting internal pressures that shape trader views on federal parliament dissolution timing.** The current Dewan Rakyat term, elected in November 2022, runs until automatic dissolution in December 2027, with the latest possible polling window in early 2028. Barisan Nasional chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has stated BN will exit the federal coalition once parliament dissolves, while recent state election results in Johor and Negeri Sembilan showed BN gaining ground, often alongside or against Perikatan Nasional. These dynamics, combined with ongoing coalition frictions and calls from some partners for earlier polls, keep attention on whether Anwar will seek dissolution in 2027 or push toward the full term. The November 14 Melaka state election serves as an immediate test of coalition strength ahead of any federal move.
