Hot seats: Three seats under Kepala Batas are up for grabs – Bertam, Pinang Tunggal and Penaga. — LIM BENG TATT/The Star
KEPALA BATAS: Long considered a secure bastion for Barisan Nasional, the Kepala Batas parliamentary seat fell to a rival for the first time in almost 50 years in the 15th General Election (GE15) last year.
Nobody expected former minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican to lose the seat, which has long been synonymous with former premier Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.
