SEREMBAN – The Health Ministry (MoH) has prepared standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the Melaka election and is ready to discuss with the Election Commission (EC) if the polls are given the go-ahead.
Its Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said, however, that MoH is still waiting for the cabinet’s decision on the matter before the SOPs are scrutinised.
“We have given our views regarding the election SOPs and will leave it to the cabinet to decide whether the election will take place.
“If it is held then the MoH already has our views on certain SOPs that need to be taken into account by the EC; it is still too early for us to make an announcement,” he told reporters after officiating a children’s ward and launched an MRI machine as well as the ISO 9001:2015 certification at Mawar Medical Centre here today.
The EC received an official notification on the dissolution of the 14th Melaka Legislative Assembly on Tuesday from Speaker Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh, following the move by four assemblymen in declaring loss of confidence in Chief Minister Datuk Sulaiman Md Ali’s leadership, hence causing the state government, led by Barisan Nasional, to collapse. – Bernama, October 9, 2021
