‘Silent’ end for Sivarasa


PETALING JAYA: Sivarasa Rasiah (pic) says he was dropped at the eleventh hour as the Pakatan Harapan candidate for Sungai Buloh in the 15th General Election (GE15) because of health reasons.

The PKR legal bureau head said he had been experiencing problems with his vocal cords for more than three months and was now using a speech amplifier to assist with speaking and preserving his voice.
