For heaven sake, can we have one of the top 3 parties to contest in Tg Pagar GRC. That GRC is a gift to opposition parties but we have never heard of DPP, but RP looks quite fragile after losing its own deposit in PE bi-election. The residents in Tg Pagar GRC are dying to vote for opposition, but we should at least give them a SFP, SDP or WP. Or are we strategically sending RP because the father of Kenneth was once an elected MP there?
