Dewan Sri Pinang will be disinfected and those attending the assembly sitting will practise social distancing, says Chow.

THE Penang state legislative assembly will be held for a half-day session on April 17 amid the Covid-19 pandemic, said Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow.

He said State Assembly Speaker Datuk Law Choo Kiang and state exco members had agreed to the date and that the session should be shortened in view of the ongoing pandemic situation.
