‘Political home’ not my main concern, says Alwiyah after party switch

Johor election candidate Alwiyah Talib, who has switched between Umno and Bersatu, claims that her party affiliation is secondary to her commitment to serving the people of Endau. As she seeks a third term, she faces a four-cornered contest in the upcoming July 11 election.
Why it matters
The candidate's party-hopping reflects the fluid and often volatile nature of Malaysian political alliances and voter loyalty.
