Chow Kon Yeow says the Penang government will watch political developments closely in the wake of rumours of a general election soon.
“Most of the state governments are merely about two years old and there is no need to have elections, with the exception of Sabah due to the situation there. “There are a lot of factors to consider . The Covid-19 crisis, the ending of incentives which might lead to economic instability, loss of jobs and businesses would definitely lead to an unfavourable setting for an election.
Asked about DAP’s involvement in Sabah and Sarawak, Chow said they would wait to be advised by their local political partners in the states.
