NIBONG TEBAL: Despite the Sungai Bakap by-election not having an impact on the power dynamics of Penang, the polls are still getting as much attention from political bigwigs as if it could change the fate of the state.

Heavyweights from unity government coalitions Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional and the Perikatan Nasional opposition pact are all set to have teh tarik and ceramah sessions in Sungai Bakap during what is commonly called the “super weekend”, which is the last weekend before the state by-election on July 6.
