CM’s office denies Rauf signed dissolution order
The chief minister’s office says a viral WhatsApp message claiming Ab Rauf Yusoh had signed the state assembly dissolution order is fake.
The Melaka chief minister's office has refuted a circulating WhatsApp message claiming that Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh signed a document to dissolve the state legislative assembly on the same day. Media communications head Norhafizah Sati confirmed that the statement is false and urged the public and media not to accept unverified information without confirmation from the chief minister's office.
The message falsely claimed that Rauf had signed the dissolution document alongside Yang Dipertua Negeri Ali Rustam this morning. The Melaka state assembly's current term is set to end in December, unless it is dissolved earlier, with elections to be held within 60 days of dissolution.
