Parliamentary by-election will be held in Bukit Gantang as the PAS Member of Parliament for Bukit Gantang Roslan Shaharum died of a heart attack on Monday morning.
Roslan Shaharum
The 50-year-old had sent his car to a car-wash near his home in Changkat Lallang near here when he complained of chest pains. He borrowed a bicycle from one of the carwash workers to go to the nearest pharmacy.
Having a by-election so soon after the dramatic events of the past few days will be a referendum or judgment day, of some sort, of how public feels about the continuing political drama and impasse. Victory in Bukit Gantang would, conversely, help the parties, either BN or Pakatan Rakyat to consolidate its position and otherwise.
Osman Jailu
Despite the importance of measurement of political impact, there is also the added significance that Osman Jailu, one of the PKR Perak state executive councilor whose defection last week triggered the fall of the PR government, is an assemblyman for Changkat Jering, which is located within the Bukit Gantang parliamentary constituency.
In the March 8 general election last year, Roslan Shaharum had polled 20,015 votes against Abdul Azim Mohd Zabidi’s (Barisan Nasional) 18,449 votes. The third candidate was an independent, M. Morgan, who got 872 votes.
