The upcoming Bukit Selambau by-election seems to be heating up as more independent candidates appear to contest the “hot seat”. It seems that this by-election is no longer a Barisan vs Pakatan battle.
Among the independent candidates is Tan Hock Huat, who is the first independent Chinese candidate to announce his participation in the by-election.
Along with his family and his multi-racial supporters, Tan held a press conference announcing his decision to contest in the “hot seat”.
