A duel between two local personalities

NIBONG TEBAL: The Sungai Bakap state by-election is not just a fight between Pakatan Harapan and Perikatan Nasional, but a duel between two local personalities who have pledged the same thing: to solve the constituency’s perennial water troubles.

Defending the seat for Perikatan is PAS’ Abidin Ismail, 56, who is going head-to-head with Pakatan’s Dr Joohari Ariffin, 60, of PKR.
