Dissolution looms in six states

PETALING JAYA: The drums have already started beating, and although the politicians are being coy, one thing is clear – the assemblies of six states where elections are due will be dissolved before the end of this month.The state elections are expected to be held at the end of July or early August at the latest.

Although none of the six chief executives of the states – Selangor, Kelantan, Terengganu, Negri Sembilan, Kedah and Penang – were willing to reveal the exact date of dissolution, five have requested an audience with their respective heads of state.
