Pulai, Simpang Jeram by-elections: Better late than never

Mohd Saidi Salleh was relieved that he made it to the SK Seri Melati polling centre in Pulai to cast his vote at 5.59pm.

MUAR: It was a close call for teacher Muhammad Arif Jamali, who almost missed his opportunity to cast his vote in the Simpang Jeram by-election.

Muhammad Arif, 29, who was attending a wedding in Kuala Lumpur earlier on Saturday (Sept 9), arrived at the polling station at SK Simpang Jeram here less than five minutes before closing.
