KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 5 — Melaka Governor Tun Mohd Ali Rustam has consented to the dissolution of the state assembly, after four assemblymen declared no confidence in Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali as chief minister.
Melaka Assembly Speaker Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said the decision was gazetted today, adding that fresh state polls will be announced soon by the Election Commission.
He also confirmed that Sulaiman Md Ali sent a letter to Mohd Ali yesterday asking for a state election.
“In relation to that, Tuan Yang Terutama Tun Mohd Ali Rustam made a consideration and agreed to dissolve the 14th Melaka state assembly session on October 4, which was gazetted on October 5, 2021,” he told a press conference in Melaka that was also broadcast live.
