Nenggiri 'money' politics
Voters in Nenggiri will be getting better access to cash, literally.
Amid the by-election, the Finance Ministry announced that ATM services will be made available in the constituency soon.
Currently, Nenggiri residents have to travel 50km to Gua Musang town to withdraw money from ATMs.
Bersatu vice-president Mohd Radzi Md Jidin panned the announcement as being the first time ever that the Finance Ministry has announced the setting up of ATMs.

Secretive RCI concluded
The Pulau Batu Puteh Royal Commission of Inquiry has submitted its final report to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Not much is known about the RCI's findings or proceedings thus far as it was conducted behind closed doors.
However, former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad appears to be a central target of the probe.
De facto Law Minister Azalina Othman Said has claimed that Mahathir had in 2018 made a decision in "secret" that led to Malaysia dropping its claim over Pulau Batu Puteh.
