KINI ROUNDUP | Here are the key headlines you may have missed yesterday, in brief

Dr M ponders Najib's fate

Pakatan Harapan chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamd raised the likelihood that caretaker prime minister Najib Abdul Razak may flee the country if BN is defeated in the 14th general election.

Mahathir's lawyer Haniff Khatri Abdulla said Najib may also invoke the National Security Council Act 2016 to cling on to power.

Najib declared that he is confident that BN will win big in the general election.

PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang claimed that Mahathir's attacks on Najib were due to a personal agenda.

Mahathir was blocked by Nik Adli, the third son of the late former PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat, from visiting his father's grave.

Mahathir denied the planned visit was political in nature.

PAS central committee member Mokhtar Senik asked Mahathir to visit his "own grave" instead.

Another ex-minister comes out ahead of GE14

Former minister Syed Hamid Albar, in an open letter, urged voters to vote with their conscience for a positive change.

Syed Hamid also took to Twitter and quoted philosopher Edmund Burke, stressing that evil will triumph if good men did nothing.

Former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi came out in support of BN, warning that change could have unintended consequences.

Former minister Rais Yatim made his first public appearance at a Pakatan Harapan ceramah in Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan.

Former Bersatu member Anina Saadudin challenged former ministers who have now sided with Harapan to declare their assets.

Tycoon Lee Kim Yew also spoke up ahead of the general election, stressing that 1MDB was a "plague" that needed to be dealt with.

1MDB chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandsamy invited Lee to attend one of his question-and-answer sessions.

Overseas voters in a fix

Electoral reform group Bersih said it received hundreds of reports that overseas voters have yet to receive their ballot papers, even though polling day is near.

Caretaker deputy home minister Nur Jazlan Mohamed brushed off the complaints, stating that overseas voters only made up 0.1 percent of total voters and won't affect the outcome of the general election.

Bersih also took aim at the Election Commission, accusing it, among others, of unfair redelineation and deliberately deterring Malaysians from voting.

It also urged Malaysians to wear yellow or tie yellow ribbons as a sign of protest ahead of polling day.

Caretaker Penang chief minister Lim Guan Eng warned voters against "accidentally" letting BN win in Penang amid calls to vote for BN in the state as a check-and-balance against DAP.

Caretaker prime minister's wife Rosmah Mansor said people should not think that she controls her husband.
