00:00A political analyst says voter turnout, especially among outstationed youth and disgruntled Indian
00:09voters, could shift the Aya Kuning by-election outcome.
00:14P. Siwa Murugan of University Science Malaysia said Barisan National benefits from the popularity
00:21of four-term TAPA MP M. Saravanan and the legacy of the late Assemblyman Isyamsa Rudin.
00:29However, key demographic and political undercurrents could still sway the outcome.
00:35The 31,940 voters in Aya Kuning comprise 55.97% Malay, 22.9% Chinese, 14.38% Indian, and 7.5% Orang Asli voters.
00:51He said that 46% of voters aged 18 to 39 work elsewhere in urban areas, a significant proportion
01:00whose return to vote remains uncertain.
01:02Siwa Murugan said many Indian voters are expected to vote for BN, but some may support PSM candidate
01:10KS Bawani as a form of protest.
01:14The by-election will see a three-cornered fight between BN's Yusri Bakir, Brigata National's
01:20Abdul-Muhaymin Malik, and PSM's Bawani.
01:25Missing for shift.
