Don't hurry into Sarawak polls, says local civil society group

KUCHING: The Sarawak government should not hurry into the state election before the Emergency in the state ends next February, says a local civil society organisation.

Persatuan Pemangkin Daya Masyarakat - also known as Rose - said holding the polls after February would allow young and newly-registered voters the opportunity to cast their ballots, besides prioritising the health of voters in view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
