Support gone south?


By-election party's flags at Serkat in Tanjung Piai.

Backing for Pakatan Harapan in the country’s southernmost area seems to be eroding.

AT the Tanjung Piai National Park, there’s a sign where tourists take their photographs to mark that they are standing on the southernmost tip of mainland Asia. Politicians from outside Johor who are campaigning in the Tanjung Piai by-election are also busy posting selfies taken at this geographically significant corner on their Facebook pages.
