MAHKOTA BY-ELECTION | A Bersatu leader on Perikatan Nasional’s campaign trail has likened the war of words between Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh and DAP’s Seputeh MP Teresa Kok to a staged act.

Badrul Hisham Shaharin, also known as Chegubard, claimed that Akmal’s attacks against Kok over her remarks on halal certification were merely an act to attract Malay and Chinese votes.

“Akmal and Kok are a Chinese opera act for the Mahkota by-election.
