JOHOR BARU – Despite their ideological differences, rival politicians share something that each and every one of them looks forward to during an electoral campaign – the opportunity to meet and greet their voters.
Parties have demonstrated various ways to attract pollsters’ attention and support as they race against the clock towards the Johor polls this Saturday, including engaging in seemingly absurd and ridiculous activities to amuse them while winning their hearts and minds.
After all, the difference between victory and defeat could be a single ballot.
