KANGAR: There will be no by-elections for the Bintong, Chuping, and Guar Sanji state seats despite the vacancies following the sacking of three assemblymen from Pas. Perlis State Assembly Speaker Rus'sele Eizan said the seats would remain vacant until the next general election. "The Perlis menteri besar's statement, which reaffirmed the coalition still held 11 of the 15 state seats, was also considered. Rus'sele said that the withdrawal of the notice for by-elections was conveyed to the Perlis EC yesterday. "However, the casual vacancies for Chuping, Bintong, and Guar Sanji remain in effect as per my letter dated Dec 29."
