Well, now you know where it is…!
Everyone is talking about Bukit Gantang, Batang Ai and Bukit Selambau – but do you know where they are? Here are a few images to help you get your bearings.
And this is Bukit Gantang, close to Taiping and Kuala Kangsar
And Bukit Selambau, close to Sungai Petani
Hey. It does matter where these places are. All it matters is that there are political fights in there. Yeah. Win one by-election at a time.

Batang Ai is a really remote constituency. Getting there from Kuching is an exhausting journey.
I had the pleasure of staying at the Hilton Batang Ai resort a few years ago – great place , but the journey there took about 4 hours.

Can someone please elaborate on what those names – Batang Ai, Bukit Gantang and Bukit Selambau – mean/stand for?
Is there some meaningful/historical background to those names?

gantang is a volumn measurement for rice and grain.
batang is the main body of a river, similar to in trunk, stem,
ai is local spelling for “air” for water
selambau I think is a type of fishing device. I think it is those spreadout net hanging underwater, then raised for the catch
