COMMENT | For the record, I know incumbent Sungai Buloh MP R Sivarasa and his wife. They are both decent people and as an elected rep, I would vote for Sivarasa any time of the week, no matter who he chooses to align with (as the rumours persist) because his intellect, politics and worldview have always been altruistic, and he is truly in the best sense of the word a Malaysian patriot.

Furthermore, the kerfuffle between PKR president Anwar Ibrahim and his deputy Rafizi Ramli on why Sivarasa was not picked to defend his seat in GE15 is dumb. Rafizi should have known that Sivarasa had accepted the decision based on his medical condition, and publicly contradictory statements only fuel speculation of an Anwar-Rafizi rift. Needless to say, Harapan should be mindful of these types of distractions.

Now, we come to BN’s Sungai Buloh candidate Khairy Jamaluddin and if you should vote for him.

Yes, you should vote for Khairy. Mind you...
