The campaign in Tanjung Piai just got a whole lot hotter, after BN candidate Wee Jeck Seng decided to go after Dr Mahathit Mohamd on social media, in what appears to be a move to secure votes from the Chinese community.

In a post on Facebook in Mandarin, Wee questioned if voters want to see the implementation of Jawi khat, and events like Himpunan Maruah Melayu take place. Wee said a vote for Harapan would mean support for those things.
Wee then urged people to use their vote to reject Dr Mahathir, and Bersatu, which he also labeled as racist.

He added that the by-election will not change the government, but it will be an assessment of Dr Mahathir's performance.
