For decades, Malaysia's has been plagued by politicians jumping from one party to another. A new law will put to a stop to this at the upcoming election, but political treachery remains fresh in the mind of voters.

Whatever happens in Johor will have national consequences, as the state holds 26 parliamentary seats out of 165 in Peninsular Malaysia.

Stake-outs, raids and rapid cross-border exchange of information — law enforcers tell the programme Catching A Scammer how they responded after receiving reports of a Taiwanese scam syndicate fleecing people in Singapore.

Malaysia caretaker prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob has been a humble MP who has improved the constituency of Bera, residents say. But some are calling for more to be done.

Observers are expecting an intense contest for the crucial Malay votes in rural and urban seats, as this is likely to be decisive in determining who forms the next government. 

Mr Ismail Sabri Yaakob also said nothing has changed when it comes to Barisan Nasional’s choice of him as prime minister nominee.
