Political Shenanigans Continue After State Elections

The state elections may be over, but politics never stops. The Perak Menteri Besar confirmed a plot to topple his government, Bersatu is upset in Kedah, and Selangor begins a new chapter with a very different mix in the assembly. Meanwhile, by-elections in Pulai and Simpang Jeram in Johor will see PH battle it out with PN yet again. We speak to Adib Zalkapli, Director of BowerGroupAsia to get an update on the latest developments in Malaysian politics.
