Deputy CM: Covid-19 pandemic won’t stop Sarawak from holding state election

Tuesday, 20 Oct 2020 08:17 PM MYT

Asked about concern among the people that the state could face the same fate as Sabah which saw the surge in Covid-19 cases after its Sept 26 election, he said the election could still be held, provided that the standard operating procedure is strictly adhered to. Masing, who is also state Minister for Infrastructure and Port Development, was met by reporters after officiating at the ground-breaking ceremony for ‘Package A: Construction and Completion of the Proposed Jalan Sungai Bidut/Kampung Sebedil/Kampung Bungan Kecil’ in Bawang Assan today.

“The decision to call for a dissolution of the state assembly to pave the way for an election is with the Chief Minister,” he added. For GPS, the Bawang Assan state seat had traditionally been allocated to SUPP and the incumbent now is Parti Sarawak Bersatu president Datuk Seri Wong Soon Koh, who reportedly will be defending the seat in the next election.
