SEGAMAT (May 1, 2013): It’s going to
be a long day and night-long campaign trail for Johor PKR chairman Chua Jui
Meng today.

Kasap, focusing on the interiors of the Malay heartland and areas populated by
the Indian majority.
The
motorcade of about 50 riders comprised supporters from PKR and PAS. The PAS
candidate for PAS in Buloh Kasap is lawyer Firdaus Masod.
Chua
is then scheduled to join the National Union of Bank Employees (NUBE) picket
against S. Subramaniam, the caretaker Human Resources Minister defending
Barisan Nasional (BN)’s Segamat parliamentary seat at 5pm.
Chua
will also be delivering two ceramah
in Tebrau and Johor Baru this evening. The Johor Baru ceramah will feature Pakatan Rakyat (PR) de facto leader Anwar Inrahim.

day of walking the interiors of the Malay heartland in Buloh Kasap..
He
spent six hours walking from house to house to greet Malay voters.
After
the gruelling campaign train in the severe afternoon heat, Chua returned to his
main Operations Centre in Bandar Utama for meetings.
He
then took a trip down memory lane at 6pm, visiting Segamat Hospital. The
hospital was opened during Chua tenure as Health Minister.
