Three stumble before the race

Sorry, my friend: Amanah’s pick for Kepala Batas seat Dr Zaidi Zakaria (right) consoling Yaakob.

KEPALA BATAS: Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia’s Yaakob Osman who was disqualified from contesting the Penaga state seat in Kepala Batas, will consult his legal team over the next course of action.

Yaakob, 53, who is the younger brother of Penang Umno chief Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Osman, was not allowed to contest as there was a record of him being declared bankrupt.
