The mood in the country is electric as Malaysians get ready to go to the polls on May 9. With election fever sweeping across the nation, the 14th General Election is bound to be a political spectacle. Of course, wherever there’s a spectacle, you can be sure of a crowd.
Sunday Star recently reported that GE14 is likely to boost domestic tourism (Cashing in on ‘election tourists’, published on March 25).
