Two years after Tanjung Piai by-election, Jeck Seng still the local favourite
GE15 | At this exact time two years ago, all eyes were on Tanjung Piai - where Pakatan Harapan was in a desperate bid to retain the seat in a by-election, which it ultimately lost by a wide margin on Nov 13, 2019 - setting off a chain of events culminating in the Sheraton Move that would come four months later.
