Melaka polls: Cabinet to discuss ways to prevent ministers from using official events to campaign, says Wan Junaidi


KUALA LUMPUR: The Cabinet will discuss ways to prevent ministers from using official events as a ruse to campaign during the coming Melaka state polls, said Datuk Seri Dr Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar.

"I will bring it up during the next Cabinet meeting so that ministers do not circumvent the standard operating procedures (SOPs) set by the National Security Council and Health Ministry which will be implemented by the Election Commission (EC)," the Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Parliament and Law) said when responding to a question by Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (PH-Bandar Baru Kulim) in Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (Oct 26).
