Bias has long been a problem for AI and algorithms, and such software has previously been shown to reflect and repeat common social prejudices.
NIBONG TEBAL: Perikatan Nasional candidate Abidin Ismail’s wish to continue the legacy of his boss and predecessor came true when he emerged victorious in the Sungai Bakap by-election with an even bigger winning majority. The 56-year-old former logistics executive garnered 14,489 votes to defeat Pakatan Harapan candidate Dr Joohari Ariffin who secured 10,222 votes.
In the 2023 state election, the late Nor Zamri had captured Sungai Bakap by a 1,563-vote majority defeating Nurhidayah Che Rose from Pakatan. Malays make up 59.2% of voters of the seat, which had been a Pakatan stronghold since the 12th General Election in 2008. Chinese voters comprise 22.4%, while Indians and others make up 17.2% and 1.2% of voters respectively.
Perikatan has blamed the targeted subsidy system for raising the prices of goods and services, while the unity government alliance, of which Pakatan is a part of, claims that most of these subsidies are wasted through smuggling and benefit the wealthy.
