PAPAR: Parliament will be dissolved only when all quarters, including the people, are ready for the polls, said Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Asked how close the dissolution of Parliament was, the Prime Minister said, "Very soon, very soon, do the job first, do not worry."

"Now I am on the ground explaining the policies and direction spearheaded by Barisan Nasional.

"We want the people to understand that a vote for BN is a vote for the country's transformation agenda and a vote for peace and stability for a brighter future," he told reporters after attending the people's gathering at padang pekan here Thursday.

On his meeting with state Barisan leaders Wednesday, Najib, who is also Barisan chairman, said there was no serious problem facing them except for matters pertaining to coordination and personality.

"On the whole, I am satisfied with the level of understanding among Sabah Barisan component parties," he said.

On the choice of Barisan candidates in the 13th general election, Najib said the coalition had almost finished selecting the candidates.

"We have to do background and security verifications and also check on any reports from the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) and others before we finalise the list," he added. - Bernama
