\nSpeaker\u00a0Datuk Seri Ab Rauf Yusoh said the Yang Dipertua Negeri of Melaka\u00a0Tun Mohd Ali Rustam has pondered and decided to dissolve the State Assembly upon advice from Chief Minister Datuk Seri Sulaiman Md Ali yesterday.
\nAb Rauf said a letter was sent to Mohd Ali yesterday to notify him about the four Melaka assemblymen who declared that they have lost confidence in Sulaiman and to seek his consent for the dissolution of the State Assembly.
\n\u201cThe\u00a0Yang di-Pertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali\u00a0Rustam has pondered and consented to the dissolution of the 14th State Legislative Assembly of Melaka on Monday, Oct 4, 2021,\u201d he told a special press conference at Seri Negeri here today.
\nAb Rauf said the Proclamation of the Dissolution of the 14th Melaka State Legislative Assembly was gazetted today, Oct 5.<\/p>\n
At the press conference, Ab\u00a0Rauf also submitted the proclamation of the dissolution to Melaka Election Commission (EC) director Rudy Rohan Johan @ Ganesan.
\nOn having a state election during the\u00a0COVID-19 pandemic, Ab Rauf said the EC could propose the best standard operating procedures to the National Security Council and Ministry of Health to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
\nHe said the existing state government would act as a\u00a0caretaker government until after the state election.
\nYesterday, four Melaka assemblymen declared that they have lost confidence in\u00a0Sulaiman\u2019s leadership, hence causing the state government led by Barisan Nasional (BN) to collapse.
\nThe assemblymen are former Melaka Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron (BN-Sungai Udang), Datuk Nor Azman Hassan (BN-Pantai Kundor), Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee (Independent-Pengkalan Batu) and\u00a0Datuk Noor Effandi Ahmad (Bersatu-Telok Mas).
\nPrior to this, the BN held 17 seats in the 28-seat State Assembly, namely 14 from\u00a0UMNO, two\u00a0from Bersatu and one Independent, while the opposition had\u00a011 comprising DAP (seven), PKR (two) and Amanah (two).
