GEORGE TOWN: The highly anticipated state election for all six states will most likely take place in August, according to Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.
Chow predicted that it could happen as late as the second week of August, or five to six weeks after the proposed dissolution of the Penang legislative assembly on June 28.
It was reported earlier that the six states, including Penang, had already reached an understanding to dissolve their respective state assemblies to pave the way for a simultaneous state poll. “I think both coalitions will mobilise their supporters as much as they can. The process has actually started now,” he said.
“I think we already discussed this matter with our legal adviser, and he advised us that we can still remain in office for now. Chow said that personally, he felt that after nomination day, all state excos should vacate their offices.
