GE15: Hold concurrent state polls and save taxpayers' money, Pakatan told


GEORGE TOWN: The Pakatan Harapan-led states Penang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan should hold their state polls together with the 15th General Election (GE15) to save cost, says a Penang MCA leader.

State MCA Public Services and Complaints Bureau head Ooi Teik Liang cited an extra expense of RM350mil if the three states hold their elections separately, as stated earlier by Election Commission (EC) deputy chairman Datuk Seri Wan Ahmad Wan Omar.
