TELUK INTAN: BN deputy chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin says the coalition has a good chance to win the Teluk Intan by-election tomorrow despite DAP's aggressive campaign. He said feedback from the ground have been favourable for BN ever since the campaign started last week.



"We are going to push all the way until the campaign period ends at midnight today," he said after a breakfast session with leaders of local Indian non-governmental organisations here this morning.

Muhyiddin, nonetheless reminded BN party workers to observe decorum while campaigning in light of the Perak's state of mourning following the passing of the late Sultan Azlan Shah.

He also expressed regret over the DAP leadership's decision to proceed with a boisterous open air ceramah in the middle of this town last night.

"I think they are desperate to win. That's why they do not seem to care about the state mourning period," he said.

Earlier, Muhyiddin appealed for the local Indian NGO leaders to help BN candidate Datuk Mah Siew Keong who hails from this town to win the by-election.

"He (Mah) is from here and know better your needs and how to help your community," he said.

Mah faces DAP candidate Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud at the poll tomorrow.
