SEREMBAN, Oct 8 — Umno deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan is of the view that the Melaka State Election should be postponed as the Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country has yet to subside.
Mohamad said many have also expressed worry that the election could trigger another wave of Covid-19 in the country like what happened in the Sabah State Election last year. “We must listen to the views of medical experts and give them due consideration,” he told reporters after handing over assistance to the elderly, single mothers, the asnaf and orphans at Masjid Kampung Sega, Rantau, here today.
The Melaka State Assembly was dissolved on October 4 following the move by four assemblymen — Datuk Seri Idris Haron , Datuk Nor Azman Hassan , Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee and Datuk Noor Effandi Ahmad — in declaring a loss of confidence in and withdrawing support for the leadership of Chief Minister Datuk Sulaiman Md Ali.
