PKR’s stronghold Sungai Buloh in Selangor is now a hot seat after the outgoing health minister Khairy Jamaluddin was named the candidate for BN to contest there.
Malaysiakini’s visit to Sungai Buloh showed that many Pakatan Harapan supporters are “having a dilemma” as they support PKR president Anwar Ibrahim as their prime minister’s candidate but don’t like to see Khairy lose.
Some even explained that they have become pickier to vote and that they might vote based on “personality instead of along party lines” on polling day.
As for Khairy, it didn’t take long for him to work his charm as right after the nomination process last Saturday, he hopped on a motorcycle and visited some Umno veterans in Kampung Melayu Subang Tambahan.
