GEORGE TOWN: Pakatan Harapan’s outing for the 15th General Election has been marred by the shocking loss of Nurul Izzah Anwar in Permatang Pauh, a seat which has been a family stronghold for 40 years.

Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow was the first to admit sadness and disappointment over the defeat during his speech after the announcement of the official results that very night.
