Political parties in Johor will on Saturday (Feb 26) start campaigning for the state election. Observers say this could be a golden opportunity for Barisan Nasional to regain a firmer control over the southern Malaysian state, amid a fractured opposition. The outcome will also set the stage for a general election, which may take place this year. Afifah Ariffin reports from Johor Bahru.
