Kuala Lumpur: Chairman of the Alliance for Safe Community Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye (pic) said with Covid-19 cases rising in the country it is certainly not the time to hold elections.

There is talk of an impending snap general election in the later part of this year.

The increase, he said, is not confined to Malaysia but is a worldwide phenomenon and is expected to peak over the next three months with the onset of winter season.

The war to combat the virus is now very real.
