No protest vote, it’s just psywar, says ex-PM


Crowd favourite: Ismail Sabri (right) posing for photos with residents of Kampung Has in Jerteh, Terengganu.

BESUT: At a pasar malam in Kampung Tok Has in Jerteh here, Umno veteran Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob was stopped at almost every stall by shoppers and traders who wanted a “wefie” with the former prime minister.

It was not just Ismail Sabri who was smothered by requests, but also Terengganu Umno veteran and former mentri besar Tan Sri Idris Jusoh, who accompanied him as he campaigned for Barisan Nasional in the Terengganu state polls.
