The Election Commission announced today that the States of Penang and Selangor cannot hold local government elections in their respective States since the local government polls have effectively been abolished.
Both these States are subjected to Local Government Act (Act 171), which states that the municipal councillors are to be appointed and NOT elected any longer.
The opportunity for the deserving local residents to be elected to serve the township or locality have been deprived by our ruling BN government in their quest to appoint their loyal officials.
