Menteri Besar Datuk Nik Aziz Nik Mat today said that the PAS Kelantan government will apply to dissolve the state assembly soon after parliament is dissolved so that election can be held simultaneously.
    
He said it was not his concern if the Penang and Selangor governments did not want to dissolve their assemblies simultaneously with the federal government.

“That is their problem. For Kelantan, I (shall apply to) dissolve the state assembly with the federal-level,” he told reporters after his weekly Friday talk at Dataran Ilmu in Kota Baharu today.

He was asked to comment on a statement by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng that leaders in the opposition pact would meet on Mar 13 to decide whether to hold the election in states under its control simultaneously for the general election.

“As I had mentioned earlier, personally, I want the state election to be held simultaneously with the election for parliamentary seats because many things which are not nice can happen if held separately,” said Nik Aziz.
