In race for Johor, Pejuang’s dependency on Dr Mahathir a double-edged sword - superadmin - 03-10-2022 Johor polls: In race for Johor, Pejuang’s dependency on Dr Mahathir a double-edged sword MUAR, March 10 — As the campaign for the Johor state election enters its final leg, Parti Pejuang Tanah Air’s (Pejuang) dependence on its chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad may yet turn out to be a double-edged sword. At the age of 96, the nonagenarian, who just recovered from an illness last month, joined the party’s campaign trail at two separate events on March 3 accompanied by his wife Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali. In his only appearance so far, Dr Mahathir attended a lunch with the Chinese Business and Industry Association in Batu Pahat before joining the party’s Aspirasi Johor programme in Felda Ayer Hitam later the same day. However, whether Dr Mahathir’s presence helped Pejuang in the election that it is participating in for the first time remains to be seen. - More -
