SINGAPORE: The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Health Ministry (MOH) said in a joint statement on Wednesday (July 10) that the controversial mural of a smoking samsui woman on 297 South Bridge Road can stay, but have issued a composition fine of S$2,000 to the owner for the unauthorised mural.
GEORGE TOWN: Several factors including the low turnout among non-Malay voters contributed to Pakatan Harapan 's defeat in the July 6 Sungai Bakat state by-election, says Chow Kon Yeow .
The Penang Pakatan chairman and Chief Minister said the no-shows could have cost the coalition at least 2,500 votes. He said while they have yet to carry out a post-mortem on the defeat, he said from his observations, voters who used to turn up did not come out to vote this time."Perikatan Nasional garnered 83% of the Malay votes while Pakatan garnered 85% of the non-Malay votes," he told the press after launching the electric cross-border truck from Malaysia to Singapore at the Lava Mansion here on Wednesday .
Perikatan Nasional retained the state seat when its candidate Abidin Ismail secured 14,489 votes against Pakatan candidate Dr Joohari Ariffin’s 10,222 votes.Chow said despite the low turnout, Pakatan did not lose the non-Malay votes in Sungai Bakap. He was also asked if Chinese voters stayed away because there were two camps in DAP and only Chow's camp had turned up to campaign."Lim Guan Eng , Gobind Singh Deo , Anthony Loke , Lim Hui Ying and M.Kulasegaran turned up ."Sometimes during the day, and other times at night during the ceramah," he said.
