PKR chairman Chua Jui Meng is scheduled to be at the Dewan at 7.30am. The Election
Commission (EC) has fixed only an hour (9am to 10am) for the nomination of at
least six candidates, in the absence of Independents.
EC’s
returning officer is expected to announce the confirmation of candidates at
11am.

has appealed to the people of Segamat to turn up at the Dewan to support PR
candidates.
“The
people must not be intimidated and we are now fighting as underdogs because of
BN’s abuse of the government machinery.
“Please
come out in full force to send a message to the BN that the people is the boss
and it is BN that should fear the people,” he added.
