K KANGSAR POLLS The widow of BN's former Kuala Kangsar MP who is now contesting in his seat, forgives the opposition for insinuating that the by-election called after her husband's death was "divine retribution" against BN leaders for their hand in toppling the Perak government in 2009.

"As a normal human, just as you are, of course the words hurt me and my family, but I forgive them (Nizar)," said Mastura Mohd Yazid in a press conference when asked to comment on the statement by ex-Perak MB Nizar Jamaluddin while campaigning for the Kuala Kangsar by-election.
