Nomination begins for Chini by-election under ‘new normal’ thesundaily Chini byelection
Myth has it that a monster lurks in the depths of the 5,085ha Chini lake in this district ala the Loch Ness monster in Scotland.
The by-election has been necessitated by the death of its incumbent Datuk Seri Abu Bakar Harun, 60, from Barisan Nasional , on May 6. Yesterday, Malaysia recorded only six new Covid-19 cases overnight, bringing the total tally to 8,535 while the number of recoveries stood at 8,070 or 94.6%. Fatalities remained at 121 or 1.42%.
Supporters also cannot come within 1.5km of the nomination centre and another thing that will be different this time around is that besides EC staff, Health Ministry personnel will also be present at the hall to be prepared to act in case a candidate, proposer or seconder shows Covid-19 symptoms. Although Pakatan Harapan has decided to stay out of this by-election, Mohd Sharim, who is a second generation Felda Chini settler, is expected to be challenged as an independent candidate has stated that he would be contesting.
