KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia's Election Commission said on Wednesday that a by-election, which will give leading opposition politician Anwar Ibrahim a shot at returning to parliament, will be held on Aug 26.
The seat came vacant after Anwar's wife quit to allow him to stand in a move that will allow him to lead an opposition coalition in parliament.
Anwar has pledged to call a confidence vote in the UMNO-led government on Sept. 16 and to win the vote will he need 30 defections from government MPs.

this is an no contest.
Anwar will win it,it is a matter of by how many votes - the majority ?
will he wins more than his wife.

hey the economic is not so good,an by-election for Jurong GRC will incur a lot of unnecessary cost.

This bit of financial cost is not even on the mind of LHL.
