KUALA LUMPUR: The Penang state government has set up a legal advisory body to look into restoring local elections in the state.
Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the body would be headed by former Bar Council chairman Yeo Yang Poh.
“The legal advisory body is to study, review and respond to the Election Commission. It is to see how we can move forward, or whether we can move forward or not,” Lim told reporters at the Parliament lobby.
Last week, the Election Commission rejected the Penang government’s plan to hold local council elections for the the Penang and the Seberang Prai Municipal Councils.
