‘Right time for state election is after Haj season’


PETALING JAYA: The simultaneous polls for the six states are likely to be held by mid-August after the end of the Haj season, says Parti Bersatu Pribumi Malaysia information chief Datuk Razali Idris.

“We hope that it will fall on a Saturday and not a working day, which will make it harder for those who have to return home to fulfil their obligation as voters,” he said when contacted yesterday.
