Pelangai polls: PN victory will add pressure on Pahang govt, says PAS leader


BENTONG: A victory for Perikatan Nasional in the Pelangai by-election will be an added pressure for the ruling government in Pahang due to a more dominant Opposition, says Datuk Seri Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man.

“Although the ruling government will remain, we can imagine that the Opposition will have 18 seats (if it wins Pelangai) while the ruling party (Barisan Nasional) will only have 16 seats. This will put huge pressure on the government,” he said when met by reporters at the nomination centre at Dewan Orang Ramai Felda Kemasul.
