MELAKA: Many people in the state are not in favour of a state election as it could trigger a spike in Covid-19 cases. They appealed to authorities for the polls to be postponed, drawing attention to the spike in Covid-19 cases that occurred after the Sabah election held in September last year. Hotelier Dennis Samford said Covid-19 cases could increase if the election took place. Businessman Chew Chert Fong also did not wish to see a state election. “Please understand the predicament faced by the business community now,” he said adding that another wave of Covid-19 cases would affect more businesses.
