[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: A volunteer helping out DAP in the Johor state elections was allegedly assaulted while on the campaign trail, according to the party’s candidate for the Bekok seat, Kanan M.

This comes just a day after a member of Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) election machinery was also assaulted while putting up party flags in Kampung Tebing Runtuh, Gelang Patah.

Kanan said the incident occurred in Chaah town in Segamat, with the volunteer sustaining injuries to his head before being admitted to Segamat Hospital.


Kanan said they were waiting for a CT scan to be conducted on the volunteer as the injury was “bad”.

“The motive for the attack is still being investigated,” he said, adding that more details would be provided when available.
