Melaka lawmakers await 'whistle' for assembly dissolution
MELAKA: The dissolution of the Melaka state legislative assembly is expected to take place this week, based on an earlier indication by Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh.
In Melaka, lawmakers are eagerly awaiting the dissolution of the state legislative assembly, according to Chief Minister Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh's earlier indication. Duyong assemblyman Datuk Mohd Noor Helmy Abdul Halem confirmed that the two Fridays mentioned by the chief minister have already arrived. If the signal given by the Melaka chief minister is followed, those two Fridays have already passed.
Helmy, who also serves as Melaka deputy executive councillor for Science, Technology, Innovation, and Digital Communications, emphasized that the decision on whom to elect will be left entirely to the people. Meanwhile, Kota Laksamana assemblyman Low Chee Leong expressed readiness and stated that he is now only waiting for the whistle for the dissolution. He too has been working on the ground every day since the 2021 Melaka state election polling day.
Media reports suggested that the Melaka state assembly could be dissolved by the end of this month, with the two more Fridays mentioned by Rauf as the timeframe. Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi urged Rauf to expedite the dissolution announcement to allow the people, especially youths, to determine the direction and future of the state.
