Johor MB dismisses rumours of state assembly dissolution today, urges assemblymen to continue serving the people.
ISKANDAR PUTERI: Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi has dismissed rumours that the Johor State Legislative Assembly would be dissolved today.
He said that, for now, matters relating to the state election should be set aside, and all state assemblymen should continue serving the people across the state.
“I would like to announce that the Johor State Legislative Assembly will not be dissolved today, so everyone can relax. I advise Honourable Members not to worry about the state election.
“Continue serving the people and Bangsa Johor. Let us put aside election matters for now as there are still many programmes and initiatives that need to be implemented,” he said during the winding-up session of the Johor state assembly sitting at Bangunan Sultan Ismail here today.
Onn Hafiz said he needed to clarify the matter following widespread speculation that the state election could take place soon, possibly due to the rising political temperature.
“I noticed some differences during this assembly debate session, perhaps because the political temperature is rising. Some said this might be the last state assembly sitting before the state election, while others were apologising and shaking hands,” he said.
Lately, talk of the dissolution of the Johor state assembly has intensified as several politicians in the state have begun making statements regarding the state election, while some parties have also started identifying their target seats.
