GEORGE TOWN: The Pakatan Harapan-led states Penang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan should hold their state polls together with the 15th General Election (GE15) to save cost, says a Penang MCA leader.

State MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau head Ooi Teik Liang cited an extra expense of RM350mil if the three states hold their elections separately, as stated earlier by Election Commission deputy chairman Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Wan Omar.“Taxpayers' money will be used to pay salaries, print ballot papers, logistics and other election expenses.

Ooi criticised DAP and Pakatan which previously said they were ready to face GE15 but have now taken a different approach.Ooi, who is Padang Kota MCA coordinator, said there were still reports of floods, traffic jams and landslides which had not been solved in the state.
