Kuala Lumpur: The political uncertainties have added to speculation over whether the BN coalition can keep its stranglehold on power.
An emboldened opposition, headed by Mahathir arch-foe Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, is seeking to wrest parliamentary control by wooing BN defectors.
"I do intend to topple the government, we have the numbers," Anwar said, a claim echoed by government insiders.
"I'm looking forward to early elections," Anwar said, adding that he hoped these would take place before September. The moment we are sure we can contest, we move."
"If you have a one to two majority, the government will be too fragile ... You don't need a two-thirds majority," he said, adding that he wanted a majority of five or six and saw a vote of no-confidence in parliament as the best course of action.
