It is going to be an weekend to watch in the Klang Valley with several major events taking place.
- Saturday afternoon, 24 May – PKR election results this Saturday afternoon, 24 May. According to unofficial results, Nurul Izzah Anwar has defeated Rafizi Ramli in the race for the party’s deputy presidency. Unfortunately, we did not see much in the way of debates on which candidate had better ideas on how to implement the People’s Agenda. What will happen to Rafizi now?
