KOTA TINGGI: With just five days to the state polls, political parties are rushing to win the hearts of more than 150,000 voters in 73 Felda settlements statewide.

The Felda votes, once regarded as “fixed deposits” for Barisan Nasional, began slowly moving away from the coalition before the 14th General Election with more than a dozen seats slipping to Pakatan Harapan in the last election.
