RANTAU: Housewife Malar Rajaram is in the thick of the campaign for the Rantau by-election here, meeting with people and making up for the first two days of the campaign period when she was on a silent protest over candidates who are not allowed to speak while canvassing for support.Malar was born in Port Dickson but spent the last 25 years in Canada where she worked as a radio broadcaster and translator. She returned home a few years ago to help her sick mother.
Along the way, she befriended a taxi driver who regularly chided her for working at a petrol station after spending 25 years in Canada.“That bothered him very much,” she said. Still, it was a while before she fully committed to running in the Rantau by-election. It was only after her taxi driver friend died last month that she resolved to contest.

Most of the roads have no streetlights, while recycling – and even regular garbage collection – is a problem.Flash floods are a common occurrence, and efforts to boost local tourism are fledgling at best.
