Disillusioned Pontian voters say they’re done with politicians - superadmin - 03-01-2022 PONTIAN: While election fever is heating up politicians, people in the coastal town of Pontian, famous for its fresh seafood, were as cool as the weather on Saturday afternoon, with just a few families picnicking by the Johor seaside. While a smattering of party flags could be seen around town after candidates filed their nomination papers, there seemed to be little buzz about the state elections, as also reflected in the sentiments of several voters who spoke to FMT. Jalaludin Zainal, 60, said he had become dissatisfied with all political parties following the pandemic and the recent floods in Johor, expressing disappointment in how elected representatives were barely present in times of crisis. - More -
