WHAT’S an election campaign without a poster and banner war?
As expected, the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Rakyat have gone all out to decorate Kuala Terengganu with posters, banners and billboards for the parliamentary by-election. Messages reflect the issues of the day, such as oil royalty, racial relations and hudud.
There are attempts to depict BN candidate Datuk Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh as a politician who is close to the people, while PAS tries to demonstrate that it respects different races and religions.
Polling day is on 17 Jan 2009.
