Mahkota Polls: 13 Permits Approved For Ceramah, Mobile Campaigns So Far


KLUANG, Police have approved 13 permits for ceramah (political talks) and mobile campaign activities for the Mahkota state by-election since nomination day two days ago.

Kluang police chief ACP Bahrin Mohd Noh said seven were for ceramah, while six covered mobile campaigns, adding that no application has been rejected so far.

Polling day is set for Sept 28, with early voting scheduled for Sept 24.
