馬來西亞總理解散議會,預計數週內舉行選舉

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak has dissolved parliament, setting up elections that could challenge his ruling coalition that has been in power for nearly six decades.

During a televised speech Wednesday, Prime Minister Razak hailed the achievements of his National Front coalition, saying he hopes the elections will deliver it a strong mandate.

Analysts expect a strong showing from the three-party coalition of ex-deputy prime minister Anwer Ibrahim. The opposition alliance took an unprecedented number of seats from the National Front during 2008 polls.

The election commission is expected to meet soon to establish a date for the vote, which is likely to happen in the next few weeks. Elections must be held within two months of dissolving parliament.馬來西亞總理納吉布已經解散議會，並準備舉行選舉。納吉布所在的執政聯盟已經當政將近60年，其地位可能在選舉中受到挑戰。

納吉布星期三發表電視講話，讚揚他的國民陣線聯盟所取得的成就，並表示希望選舉將對該聯盟予以強大的授權。

分析人士預計，前副總理安華領導的三黨聯盟將在選舉中獲得有力的支持。在2008年選舉中，這個反對派聯盟從國民陣線聯盟手中奪得的議席之多前所未有。

預計馬來西亞選舉委員會不久將開會確定投票日期，很可能是在幾星期後。解散議會後，必須要在兩個月內舉行選舉。
