PoliticsNegeri Sembilan state election: National issues enter campaign spotlight

Voters in Malaysia’s Negeri Sembilan will go to the polls on Saturday to choose the party that will form the next state government. Although the campaign has largely concentrated on local concerns, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has brought broader national matters into the discussion. He said Myanmar had agreed to accept the return of 5,000 Rohingya refugees, describing a rare repatriation arrangement. During campaign appearances, Anwar also referred to the planned declassification of a Royal Commission of Inquiry report on Tabung Haji.
