(FMT) – Whether Pakatan wins Penang or not, speculations are growing that Lim may lose in Air Putih. But that’s unthinkable.

With Sunday polling day just hours away, all candidates are in a frantic rush to reach out as many as voters as possible in Penang.

Market tour, door-to-door visits and rallies have all intensified over the past few days as all candidates enter into their final laps to catch whatever and whoever’s votes they can in this island-state.

At times it’s amusing to see politicians shaking hands and smiling at strangers seeking their votes.

After all it’s rare and far in-between to see politicians regularly visiting their constituents with such big grin.

That’s when one would realise that voters are the kingmakers.

Some candidates are welcomed with open arms, some with warm reception and others given the cold shoulder.

Now those are vital signs on whether a candidate is winnable or not.

Incumbent ruling coalition Pakatan Rakyat and Barisan Nasional have been conducting regular brainstorming sessions for their candidates to rectify errors, fine-tune their campaigns and outline their strategies to make a breakthrough in “difficult” areas.
