Umno plays safe with Mr Popular
In an all too familiar scenario, Umno yet again enters the campaign defending its choice of candidate.
It picked former Negri Sembilan Mentri Besar Tan Sri Isa Samad to contest the by-election.
Isa, 59, is popular with the grassroots but is tainted, having been suspended for three years from Umno for buying votes during the 2004 party elections.
By picking Isa, Umno is seen as riding roughshod over public sentiment.
The by-election was called after a former Umno assemblyman died last month. Polling will take place on Oct 11.
Umno was also on the defensive in the last by-election in Penang when it fielded a disbarred lawyer. It lost that round. - + selanjutnya
