PETALING JAYA: DAP’s presence on the ground for the Nenggiri by-election may confuse voters, said Umno Veterans’ Club secretary Datuk Mustapha Yaakub.

“We respect DAP’s intention to help in the Nenggiri by-election, but their presence may not be appropriate given that there are no Chinese communities in the Orang Asli villages there,” he said in a statement yesterday.
