PETALING JAYA: The wave of discontent towards the Federal Government which was shown in the Sungai Bakap by-election in Penang last month will continue in the Nenggiri polls, claims Perikatan Nasional.

The coalition’s leaders believe that national issues such as anger over the restructuring of diesel subsidies, which they claimed raised the prices of goods and services, will give the coalition an edge in the by-election.
