Orang asli ‘treated poorly’ at polling centre


Peaceful resolution: Mohd Sohaimi (centre) persuading the group of orang asli to cast their votes.

ROMPIN: Some 13 orang asli voters here left without casting their votes after claiming they were left in the cold at a polling centre here.

However, the group from the orang asli community in Kampong Inoi, Mukim Keratong, Muadzam Shah, here finally cast their votes at the SK Keratong 10 polling centre after some persuasion by Barisan Nasional’s representative at the polling area Datuk Mohd Sohaimi Jusoh.
