KUCHING: The six-month extension of the Emergency in Sarawak allows the state election to be postponed until the Covid-19 situation improves for the polls to be held safely, says the Chief Minister.

Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg said the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s decision to extend the Emergency was in line with the state government’s stand of prioritising the people’s health and upholding the practice of parliamentary democracy.
