Melaka police have advised political party supporters against holding motorcycle convoys to celebrate the results of the 16th Melaka State Election tonight (14 Nov)

Melaka police chief DCP Datuk Wira Dzulkhairi Mukhtar stated on polling day that static celebrations are preferred to prevent road congestion and public discomfort.

“Not all who break the law are party followers; perhaps they are controlled, but when a handful of outside mat rempits come and intentionally join in, disruptions happen,” Dzulkhairi said at SMK Telok Mas.

The advisory followed a statement by the Melaka police expressing regret over groups of motorcyclists gathering at intersections near Melaka Sentral on Friday night (13 Nov), which disrupted traffic flow.
