Melaka State Assembly Not to Be Dissolved Soon, Says Chief Minister

Melaka's Chief Minister, Datuk Seri Ab. Rauf Yusoh, has asserted that the state legislative assembly will not be dissolved in the immediate future. This decision comes even as neighboring states like Johor and Negeri Sembilan are preparing for their own state elections.

Yusoh emphasized that Melaka does not need to follow the political timelines of other states, as its administrative situation and needs differ. He pointed out that the Melaka State Legislative Assembly's term officially concludes on December 30, 2026, providing ample time for the state government to continue its development and welfare agendas.

"The expiry date for the Melaka DUN is December 30, 2026. Until that date, the DUN can be dissolved at any time," Yusoh stated at a press conference. "However, the atmosphere and situation in Johor are not the same as in Melaka. Neither is Negeri Sembilan. There is no need for Melaka to dissolve the DUN in an immediate situation."

The Chief Minister added that the state government will remain focused on governance and the well-being of its citizens. He indicated that Melaka would observe the outcomes of the elections in Johor and Negeri Sembilan before considering the appropriate time for its own state elections. Melaka will also send its machinery to assist in the election campaigns of these two neighboring states.
