WITH barely twenty-four hours to go before polling day, the campaign heat has gone a notch higher with Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional candidates in Penang crying foul over dirty tactics being used to disrupt their final push.

Two ‘fake’ banners claiming that Pakatan candidate for the Seri Delima state seat Syerleena Abdul Rashid had the intention of changing the country’s official religion were spotted in the early morning.
