Melaka State Polls: Heed stringent SOP for the safety of voters & party machinery

The sharp increase in Covid-19 cases after the Sabah State Election on Sept 26 last year will definitely serve as a lesson to the government in facing the upcoming Melaka State Election on Nov 20, 2021.

The government's move to ban any form of election-related rallies effective Oct 25 until Nov 27 is not intended to restrict the Constitutional rights of the country's democratic system but is simply intended to reduce the risk of Covid-19 infection and an increase in cases.
