KLUANG, Police have approved 13 permits for ceramah (political talks) and mobile campaign activities for the Mahkota state by-election since nomination day two days ago. Kluang police chief ACP Bahrin Mohd Noh said seven were for ceramah, while six covered mobile campaigns, adding that no application has been rejected so far. 'Eleven permits were issued to Perikatan Nasional (PN), covering six ceramah and five mobile campaign activities.
