Small town politics comes alive


Fishing for votes: Dr Ahmad Zahid has hit the ground running in Sungai Besar. He was at the fishermen’s wharf area on Monday night where he met the Chinese community, many of whom are millionaire fishermen.

THE Fire Monkey arch on the fringe of Sungai Besar town looks faded and also rather sad.

The arch, at the entrance to the fishermen enclave known as Bagan, bore Chinese New Year greetings from the late Sungai Besar MP Datuk Noriah Kasnon.
