KANGAR – The Perlis legislative assembly is scheduled to reconvene for three days from August 24, said Speaker Datuk Hamdan Bahari.
Hamdan said the First Meeting of the Fourth Session of the 14th State Assembly has obtained the consent of Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail, who agreed to officiate it on August 24.
“We have no problems convening the state assembly as the emergency period will end on August 1,” he said today.
He said that a meeting with related agencies, among them the National Security Council of Perlis, police and state Health Department, will be held in the near future to seek advice on standard operating procedures (SOPs) and other Covid-19-related regulations.
“This is not the first time the state assembly will be convening during the Covid-19 period, but we will give emphasis to aspects of SOP compliance as done previously,” he said.
Hamdan advised the assembly members who will be attending the sessions to focus on issues related to efforts to break the chain of Covid-19 infections. – Bernama, June 18, 2021
