GEORGE TOWN, Sept 20 — The Penang government will not dissolve the state legislative assembly if the general election is held during monsoon season, Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow said today.
“How would Malaysian voters be able to exercise their right to vote when faced with a life-or-death situation when their homes are flooded? Even polling centres will not be spared,” he said. “Voters can’t go to the polling station if it is flooded, and even polling trucks can’t go to the polling station if it’s flooded,” he said.“Can we call ourselves a democratic country when people can’t vote on polling day because some people are so determined to hold elections during monsoon season?” he said.
