In the wake of widespread criticism over the violent protests by Umno Youth, Gerakan adviser Chang Ko Youn has appealed to Teluk Intan residents not to translate their anger against the ruling party into votes.
Condemning the protests, Chang said Gerakan, which is a member of the ruling BN coalition, was worried that it may affect its chances to wrest back the Teluk Intan parliamentary seat in next Saturday's by-election.
