PETALING JAYA: The heads of six states which held the elections on Saturday are chosen based on their capabilities to propel the states to a higher level.

Leaders from all coalitions which now hold the six state governments said the criteria were not the party or race of the candidate, but more to what the politician could bring to the post as a driver of the state’s economy and well-being in all aspects.
