Analysts: Kedah MB's lottery shop ban could backfire in Malacca election
  • 2 years ago
PAS-led Kedah state government's decision to effectively ban gaming shops is believed to be related to the ongoing Malacca state election, said analysts.

They told Malaysiakini that the timing of the announcement, which was yesterday, conveniently coincided with the election where PAS and its allies in Perikatan Nasional were gunning for Malay-majority seats.
