Perikatan Nasional election director Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor claimed that an ongoing MACC probe against a son of Perlis Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Ramli was part of a “drama” staged ahead of the Kuala Kubu Baharu by-election.

PAS news organ Harakah quoted the Kedah menteri besar as saying the investigations involving five others will have no impact on PN or PAS in facing the by-election, which kicked off with official nominations today.
