Melaka to keep running as usual as state assembly heads for dissolution

Melaka state government assures normal functioning despite dissolution of legislative assembly on September 22. Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh guarantees that the administration, public services, welfare, security and daily government operations will proceed as usual after the DUN dissolution. The caretaker government will maintain order, uninterrupted services and safeguard people's interests throughout the transition period until the formation of a new state government post-elections.

All departments, agencies and local authorities will continue to fulfill their duties based on laws, regulations and governance. Ab Rauf declined to disclose his future candidates for the caretaker government, emphasizing the importance of considering multiple factors before announcing. The 15th Melaka State Election was held on November 20, 2021.

BN secured a 2/3 majority with 21 seats, while PH won 5 seats, PN 2, and Amanah 1. Since then, political shifts have occurred in the assembly with BN losing a seat but still maintaining a majority with 20 seats until December 27, the DUN's term end date.
