Free and Fair Elections? Using the people's money (government's money) to assist Pakatan Harapan win the Tanjong Piai Bu-Elections?
Will Ministers and Deputy Ministers travel to Tanjong Piai offering this and that to improve chances in upcoming by-elections? No problem if these Ministers and Deputy Ministers as political party leaders take leave and use their own money to go to Tanjong Piai to improve their chances in upcoming elections...
What has happened so far?

What about Temerloh Parliamentary constituency? ...and other Parliamentary constituencies.. Must an MP die or resign to force benefits for constituents?
When in Opposition, many condemn the BN for using government machinery and resources to improve chances in elections - Is the Pakatan Harapan now not doing exactly what was criticized before?
BERSIH - our free and fair elections watchdog - Why are they not strongly condemning these 'wrongdoings'?
Election Commission - Do they have nothing to say?
If they are using their own money or their party funds, then I see no problem? But it is not the case? Did Tanjong Piai get anything from the government when their MP was alive?
REFORMS - this should happen - or as someone mentioned, are we seeing just BN 2.0?
STOP IT - Ensure free and fair elections ..
Campaigning before nominations, in my opinion is OK, but equal chances to all including potential independent candidates..

Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman today

in Tanjung Piai with the ministries that he came across,” Syed Saddiq
added.
Meanwhile,
the Pakatan Harapan Youth chief also announced a "listening tour"
campaign where the coalition's youth volunteers will spend time and stay
with Tanjung Piai residents to understand their issues and hear their
suggestions on how to develop the constituency.
The Tanjung Piai

minister in the Prime Minister's Department died last month.

Farid bagged 21,255 votes against Wee's 20,731. The other candidate was PAS' Nordin Othman with 2,962 votes.
