Kota Kinabalu: The Sabah Government is fully supportive of the King’s decision to declare an Emergency in the Bugaya state constituency that will delay the January 16, 2021 by-election indefinitely.Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor (pic) described the move as a wise decision, considering the Covid-19 pandemic, which he says continues to be a threat to the people’s health in Sabah.
“We want to stop this Covid-19 spread, to flatten the curve and most importantly to save lives,” he said in a short statement, Wednesday.
Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin earlier announced that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has consented to an Emergency proclamation for Bugaya and the parliamentary constituency of Gerik in Perak due to continuing Covid-19 cases.
