KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 31 — After his proposal to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong was rejected, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said today that the upcoming Sarawak state election and the Batu Sapi by-election will still have to take place amid Covid-19 unless emergency is declared. Citing the Federal Constitution, the prime minister said the elections will still have to go on, but he noted the concerns of the Election Commission staff who fear of contracting Covid-19 while serving during polling.
“If you ask me there should be no elections now as the Covid-19 cases are spiking, however, we can’t call it off unless we declare a state of emergency,” Muhyiddin said today during a surprise address.
Sembang..
Sounds like an after thought excuse. He didn't say that in the first place. If all MPs and Aduns agree, I don't see why any postponement couldn't be held. Especially hard to believe him after he engineered the takeover of Sabah anyway
Inevitable only to the useless politicians with no common sense. If it poses health risk, the voters will not come out to vote. Stupid politicians can talk about democracy until they turn blue but I will stay at home.
Aiyooo Abah is not giving up.... wanna retain post as PM... Abah Karut!!!
Gila kuasa?
Orang mcm ni... cakap pun tak guna!!
Sedikit kebijaksanaan walau hanya sekumin yang ada. Kalau benar kesejahteraan rakyat jadi keutamman, undi pos atau sama2 berpakat menerima hanya satu calun mendaftar amatlah baik. Setakat ni rakyat tak nampak lansung walau sedikit pun 'kebijaksanaan' dalam mengurus kuasa.🤔😏😒
MuhyiddinYassin should have held the vote of confidence immediately after taking over the government...then all these issues would not arise today...could have nipped it in the bud earlier
No to emergency! It is betrayal to the people and to the country. Go to hell with your politic!!!
I cannot stand the sight of this Abah fella .. 😡
Man made lawe are not unbreakable TSMY.
Don’t you pity your rakyat, TSMY. It shows that you are selfish and clinging to power. Sarawak elections is not due yet, and give a walk-over to Batu Sapi. MuhyidinOUT
Avoid selfish Politicians
Negara lain kes lagi tinggi ok ja buat pilihan raya. Yang penting ikut SOP. Yg tak ikut SOP selalunya org politik. Kempen online ja jgn buat majlis apa2.
Sarawakians has this to say
Sarawak DUN will automatically dissolve on 7 JUNE 2021. Then state election must be held in 60 days - by or on 7 August 2021. Using Sarawak state election as an excuse to declare a nationwide Emergency now is dumb AF. Tan Sri, cuba sekali-sekala guna logik dan akal.
MuhyiddinOut nak lawan agong ke ni ?
I understand the constitution so,why not just agree to a walkover to Warisan. No politician in the right mind would want an election there now. No need to flash the EMERGENCY CARD. That should be off the table!
Sacrifice our economy just for two areas’ poll?
But the YDPA said no
This Abah still not giving up, seboleh2 nya he wants the State of Emergency...the only way to ensure he is still ruling. Those who agree are the worst ever Malaysian existed. Stop the nonsense wahai Abah. This time make sure SOP are 200% adhered by your “people” aka VVIP!
Main politik lg...🤦🏻♂️

Still harping on emergency? Still want to trouble the Agong over this trivial matters?Find your own solutions,show some leadership, don't take the easy way out and the rakyat will reciprocate one way or the other.For the last time, forget implementing emergency.
Why he so scared to face parliment n present the budjet?. Sarawak state election a long way more and any by elections comming up ..i am sure the EC and come up with a solution..
nak sgt kan jadi piem.... mendapatlah abahkau... mula2 blh la .. tp kalau hari2 nk dengar baca doa saja...apa brg.... x malu lg ker request kena rejek...
Apa masalahnya buat pilihanraya? Yang tak patuh SOP tu politikus. Kami rakyat semua patuh & disiplin pada SOP. Kerajaan yang double standard dalam isu ni. Menteri tak pakai mask takde apa tindakan pun. Sepatut kuarantin 14 hari tapi ubah.
Pure nonsense! Sarawak elections are not due until June 2021..Even than, EC has 60 days to conduct it by August 2021. Batu Sapi is not an issue, let's just give Warisan to win it uncontested
Nak sangat declare, kat 2 negeri tu je la.
GE15 should be inevitable
Sepatutnya bayar saya duit cepat supaya pilihanraya Sarawak dan Batu Sapi tiddak terdedah risiko covid

He's still asking for a state of Emergency under Article 150 of the Malaysian Constitution. Suspend Parliament, to rule by decree. He's not giving up, is he?
No to emergency. That would be malaysians selling out.
