KKB BY-ELECTION | Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil today defended Pakatan Harapan’s Kuala Kubu Baharu candidate Pang Sock Tau against claims that she was a “proxy” of Housing and Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming.

Specifically, Fahmi condemned Bersatu supreme council member Dr Afif Bahardin for his “sexist” claims against Pang, made while on the campaign trail for Perikatan Nasional candidate Khairul Azhari Saut.

He said Afif does not seem to recognise the capability of a female candidate to be independent.
