Malaysia GE15: Johor will become Barisan Nasional stronghold once again, says Ismail Sabri

Malaysia's caretaker Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob said the southern state of Johor will become a Barisan Nasional stronghold once again. The UMNO vice-president added that the sentiment for BN in the state is very high. The coalition is eyeing 20 out of 26 parliamentary seats in Johor, after it cruised to a victory at the state elections earlier this year. During the last general election, BN only managed to clinch eight seats in Johor.
