MUAR: With the Pulai and Simpang Jeram by-elections approaching, there are already clear winners.
Restaurants, coffeeshops and food stalls in Pulai and Simpang Jeram are enjoying brisk business from people who have descended on the constituencies before nomination day on Aug 26.
Her shop is in Jalan Sungai Abong, a main artery that lies in the heart of the Simpang Jeram constituency, next to Muar.“My shop is near the town of Muar, where most of the campaign activities are held. So I’ve been getting customers who are involved in the campaign, as they need a place to rest and eat,” Tuzilah said in an interview.
The peak was on the first two days of the campaign period when political leaders such as Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang were both campaigning here, she said. “Each time they come, we will see good sales as the supporters will also sometimes sit down to have some drinks,” he said.
There are 40,488 registered voters in Simpang Jeram, of which 21,005 are Malays, 18,052 are Chinese, 1,027 are Indians, and 404 are from other communities.
