Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak has dropped the strongest hint yet, that the upcoming 14th General Election will be held before this year's Haj season, which begins in July.

He said, the pilgrims would witness two "raya" occasions before performing their Haj, which is an apparent reference to the Aidilfitri celebration, as well as the polls, which must be held by August 24th.

He was speaking to some one thousand 200 recipients of the Prime Minister-One Malaysia Development Berhad Foundation Special Haj programme in Putrajaya today.

The recipients are scheduled to leave for Mekah on July 14th.

You are scheduled to depart on July 14th, which means two occasions would have passed. One, being Hari Raya Aidilfitri and the other is another "hari raya". After both "raya", then only you will depart to perform your Haj.)
