MELAKA: Nominations for the Melaka state election is set to be a subdued affair with the Covid-19 standard operating procedure for polling to come into full force, with candidates “having that lonely feeling” as they arrive at the 28 designated centres.

Unlike the customary practice of shouting slogans and having group processions in a psychological show of strength, supporters will not be allowed to accompany candidates as the formalities begin today.
