GE14 | Caretaker Malacca chief minister Idris Haron has told his potential Pakatan Harapan successor Shamsul Iskandar Mohd Akin to go "fly a kite" over his ambitions to take over his post.

Shamsul, who is Malacca PKR chief, decided to contest the state seat of Rim at the last minute this morning, citing his party's wishes for him to be one of Harapan's chief minister candidates should Malacca fall in the coming elections.

But Idris, who is the incumbent Sungai Udang assemblyperson, does not think Malacca is likely to fall.
