THE face-to-face approach continues to be the choice of ‘otai’ candidates campaigning for the general election in the run-up to polling day on November 19.

In Negri Sembilan, otai candidates like Barisan Nasional deputy chairman Mohamad Hasan, Pakatan Harapan secretary-general Anthony Loke and menteri besar Aminuddin Harun still hold ceramah and walkabouts in their respective constituencies: Rembau, Seremban and Port Dickson.

Meanwhile, the Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate in Rembau, Mohd Nazree Mohd Yunus, approached voters at futsal centres.

Film director Ahmad Idham Ahmad Nadzri, the candidate for Gerakan Tanah Air in Port Dickson, took advantage of his celebrity status to attract the attention of voters.

Independent candidate, Abdul Rani Kulup Abdullah used his popularity as a social activist to approach voters.

In Perlis, Rozabil Abdul Rahman, the BN candidate for Arau seat, organises his walkabouts by distributing leaflets in public places, such as farmers’ markets, night markets and bus stations.

He also holds programmes that enable him to get close to padi farmers, e-hailing drivers and the Siamese community.
