Floods force replacement of Sepang polling centre

Sekolah Agama Dengkil will now be one of the polling centres for the Sepang parliamentary seat.
SHAH ALAM:
Sekolah Rendah Agama Dengkil has been designated as a polling centre for the Sepang parliamentary constituency, replacing SJKT Dengkil, which was flooded yesterday.

In a letter to the Selangor state election office yesterday, Sepang returning officer Abd Hamid Hussain said SJKT Dengkil had been partly submerged in floodwaters following heavy rain.

As a result, he asked for the religious school in Dengkil to be used as the new polling centre, according to the letter distributed by the Selangor information department.

State election director Shafie Taib today sent a letter to the Election Commission asking it to re-gazette the polling centre.

Sepang will see an eight-cornered fight involving Anuar Basiran (Barisan Nasional), Rina Harun (Perikatan Nasional), Che Asmah Ibrahim (Pejuang), Raj Munni @ Aiman Athirah Sabu (Pakatan Harapan), Daud Leong Abdullah (Parti Utama Rakyat), R Nageswaran (Parti Rakyat Malaysia) and independent candidates Syahrul Amri Mat Sari and M Muneswaran.
