PEKAN NENAS: Despite an event featuring a Pakatan Harapan minister and deputy minister, only about 50 people turned up at the “kopitiam forum”, which took place at Restoran Jiayibei here.
The forum had featured Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu, Deputy Defence Minister Liew Chin Tong, and Pekan Nenas assemblymen Yeo Tung Siong among others.
Mohamad, who was sported in a red Defence Ministry shirt and flanked by a security entourage, failed to pull crowds from Pekan Nenas, which is also known as a DAP stronghold in the Tanjung Piai constituency on Monday (Nov 4).
This was a stark contrast to Pakatan’s ability to attract a strong crowd of up to thousands during the 14th General Election campaigning period.
Audience Gan Boh Guan, 39, said that sentiments among the people have changed after Pakatan took federal power for a year.
“In fact, I will support Jeck Seng (MCA's Datuk Seri Dr Wee Jeck Seng). He’s a good man and we always see him around, ” he added.
