00:00Bersatu President Muhyiddin Yassin has dismissed calls to postpone the Melaka and Johor state elections,
00:07saying such proposals are driven by fear of losing public support.
00:12Commenting on a proposal by DAP MP Ku Pui-Tiong to declare an emergency to delay the upcoming Melaka state
00:20election,
00:21Muhyiddin said there is no good reason to postpone the polls.
00:26Muhyiddin, who is also the former chairman of Perikatan Nasional, said the opposition was ready to face elections at any
00:33time.
00:34Ku, the Kota Melaka MP, said declaring an emergency to delay the state election was one of several approaches that
00:42could be considered.
00:44He said the matter should be openly discussed, including the possibility of waiting until global conditions stabilise before holding elections.
00:53Melaka Chief Minister Abdul Rauf Yusso had earlier confirmed that the state election is expected within six months,
01:01ahead of the state assembly term ending on December 30th.
