Status quo in KKB
Pakatan Harapan has retained the Kuala Kubu Baharu seat.
The data shows that overall, support for both Harapan and Perikatan Nasional in the seat remains mostly unchanged.
One notable exception was police and military voters, who swung towards Harapan this time around.
PN had previously said it had sufficient evidence of bribery in the election that it would use to overturn the results and force another by-election.

Black Hawk where?
The army wants to cancel a Black Hawk helicopter lease contract after delays in the delivery of the first of four aircraft.
The new helicopters were reportedly ordered to replace the Sikorsky S-61A-4 Nuri, suspended from service since 2020.
The four Black Hawks are worth RM187 million and were ordered from local supplier Aerotree Defence & Services Sdn Bhd.
The Defence Ministry said it would review the financial implications of cancelling the contract before deciding.
