PETALING JAYA: A political analyst has suggested holding local council elections in a few cities as a test run of sorts to give the public a better understanding of local elections.

Ahmad Fauzi Abdul Hamid of Universiti Sains Malaysia said Penang, Ipoh and Kuala Lumpur were ideal for such “test run” elections, before involving other cities.

He urged the prime minister to champion local government elections as a good way of nurturing future political leaders.
