PETALING JAYA: After a week of speculation, the Melaka state government led by chief minister Sulaiman Md Ali has fallen.

In a press conference today, former Melaka chief minister and Sungai Udang assemblyman Idris Haron, from Umno, announced that the state government had fallen after three executive councillors resigned and an Umno assemblyman withdrew his support for Sulaiman’s leadership.

“We have resigned. This signifies that the state government has a deficit in support,” said Idris, who is one of the three executive councillors to quit.

The other two are former DAP man Norhizam Hassan Baktee (Pengkalan Batu) and Bersatu’s Noor Effandi Ahmad (Telok Mas).
