Wee (second right) won a landslide victory for Barisan in the by- election. He beat Pakatan Harapan’s Karmaine Sardini by a 15,086-vote majority.
PONTIAN: Pakatan Harapan’s thumping defeat in the Tanjung Piai by-election is a bitter pill, but the coalition needs to work quickly to address people’s concerns. And the state budget announcement on Thursday could be the place to start.
For the first time Pakatan lost in all 27 polling districts and 127 out of the 128 streams in the by-election. The only stream Pakatan won was in Jalan Rimba Terjun in Kukup, by 25 votes.
