KUALA LUMPUR: In this latest episode of Beyond the Headlines, the show continues to explore the Sungai Bakap by-election as polling day approaches.
As previously discussed, longstanding issues such as water supply disruptions affecting several neighborhoods and the rising cost of living remain central to the debate.
How will voter support dynamics, demographic influences, and turnout shape the final outcome of tomorrow's polls?
To answer this, we have political analyst Professor Mujibu Abd Muis joining us via video call.
In the later segment, the show addresses the response to the recent fatal bus crash in Genting Highlands, which killed two foreign tourists and injured several others.
The bus driver, who was charged in court for reckless driving, was found not to have a valid driver's license. He has also been issued 27 other traffic summonses over the past few years.
While the Genting highway has a long history of deadly bus crashes, could this recent incident have been avoided?
Why did the government wait until after such a tragedy to initiate a nationwide crackdown on errant bus drivers and tour bus companies?
