Depending on who you speak to, the “hero” for the voters are either the ruling government candidate Pang Sock Tao or Perikatan’s Khairul Azhari Saut. Adnan Serdu, a 31-year-old Orang Asli man staying at Kampung Buloh Telor, said he will be backing Pang despite being unhappy about some issues. However, for trader Jamal Arfan, 28, after one week of attending ceramah, he is leaning towards Khairul Azhari, saying that the candidate is a local. On Pakatan Harapan candidate Pang, Jamal said she has a manifesto, which he said is an “advantage” over Khairul Azhari. The by-election will see a four-cornered fight between Pakatan’s Pang, Perikatan’s Khairul Azhari, Parti Rakyat Malaysia’s Hafizah Zainudin, and Independent candidate Nyau Ke Xin.

PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim always prioritised the agenda of "Empowering the Indian Community” in line with the national development process, says Deputy Entrepreneurship Development and Cooperatives Minister Datuk R. Ramanan. But certain parties continue to play up the sentiment of 'hate politics’, claiming that the Prime Minister is marginalising the Indians. He said all these initiatives for the Indian community entrepreneurs could not have been realised without the Prime Minister's mandate. We must stand together and be united to make the mission of transforming the Indian community successful. "My advice to the Indian community is to capitalise on the various assistance, initiatives and opportunities provided by the government to improve their businesses for a better future for the Indian community, especially in business,” he said.

The recent unfolding comes at a time when Kenyans are grappling with the hardships of floods, economic struggles, and doctors’ strike. The CS had postponed the second term opening by a week, citing security concerns caused by heavy rains and flooding in many parts of the country.
