SG LIMAU The Sungai Limau by-election enters its ninth day of campaign today but the two candidates in the contest - BN's Ahmad Sohaimi Lazim and PAS' Mohd Azam Samat - remain very much like "puppets".

Both Sohaimi, 52, and Azam, 37, appear to be overshadowed by the big wigs of their parties, and it is rare to hear them deliver speeches at the various events organised in the constituency of 27, 222 voters.
