He also distributed his namecard with a logo and telephone number.

Although Nai was able to deliver a positive image to the voters, whether this will translate into votes is another thing.

Ehsan and Lathiffa, a Malay couple who were enjoying breakfast, pointed out: "This is a PKR stronghold" and believed that the voters would vote in favour of the PKR candidate because of the party de facto leader Anwar Ibrahim, who widely known as "anak Permatang Pauh".

When asked by the media after the walkabout, Nai admitted this is a battle of "a cat fighting a tiger". However, he stressed: "I am not afraid".
