Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) central committee member S Arutchelvan said he hopes Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Mohamad Sabu will defend his earlier stand of supporting local government elections, in view of Dr Mahathir Mohamad's objection.

"My good friend Mohamad Sabu had, on Jan 9, 2016, said in Shah Alam, 'We hope Pakatan Harapan can bring back local government elections, so that things like nepotism, waste and corruption can be lessened'.
