GEORGE TOWN: Four days before nomination day, Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow was floored by Covid-19, but even as he was recuperating at home, his mind was on Batu Kawan.

He has a new, and rather tricky task ahead – to defend the parliamentary seat after the incumbent Kasthuriraani Patto declined re-election.
