JOHOR BARU: While he is against a snap election at this juncture, a Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia state executive councillor says the Johor Mentri Besar should 'just do it' if he has any plans to dissolve the state assembly or has been directed to do so.

JOHOR BARU: While he is against a snap election at this juncture, a Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia state executive councillor says the Johor Mentri Besar should"just do it" if he has any plans to dissolve the state assembly or has been directed to do so.

"To me, having a state election at this juncture is a huge waste of public funds. Why do we need this? What is the motive?" he asked. "The main question is the motive and the relevance to have an election now when the people are trying to get back to their normal life due to the Covid-19 pandemic or the floods in the state," he wrote.

"Such rhetoric about elections will cast a negative perception and cause doubts and investors to lose confidence in coming into the state," he said.
