By Rozanna Latiff and A. Ananthalakshmi KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -The prospect of an early election in Malaysia loomed as Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said he could propose a date for the dissolution of parliament during a regular meeting with the country s monarch on Thursday, state media reported. An election is not due until September 2023, but Ismail has been under pressure from some factions of his ruling coalition to hold the vote earlier for a stronger mandate and due to infighting. Sabri said the meeting with King Al-Sultan Abdullah was mainly to discuss cabinet matters, and a date for dissolution would be submitted only if there was time, Bernama new agency said. Still unsure whether it will be brought up. If it takes too long to discuss cabinet issues, it will be about cabinet only, Ismail said. His government is scheduled to table its 2023 budget in parliament on Friday, the finance ministry has said, putting to rest some speculation that a dissolution could be announced
