NOVEMBER 5 — It recurs with no outcome and stays tepid till the next election.
In this Melaka election the spotlight is on Amanah’s Muhammad Mukhlisul Mubin Julaisapiyah, aged 25, in coastal Kuala Linggi (N01) connected to Negeri Sembilan, and PKR’s Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir, 26, much further down the coast closer to the city at Kelebang (N14).
Perhaps answers are necessary. I want to ignore the urge to end this examination with the churlish and clichéd “age is just a number”. It is a number but to sidestep it only forces a rerun. Also, it’s lazy. As lazy as the comments online.
