“The public need not worry or panic. The public should not associate the setting up of roadblocks to the decision of the state election results in six states tonight,” he told reporters during a special media conference at Bukit Aman tonight. 

The election results of six states – Selangor, Negri Sembilan, Penang, Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah – are expected to be announced tonight. – Bernama, August 12, 2023
