This morning I spent some time at the BN operations centre for Tanjung Bungah/Bukit Bendera.

Contesting the state assembly and parliament seats are the respected Chia brothers, Datuk Seri Chia Kwang Chye and Chia Loong Thye. Kwang Chye, the older of the two, is the more prominent politician and also the secretary general of Gerakan. Younger Chia, who is a senior lawyer and the Gerakan legal bureau chief in Penang, is contesting for the first time.
 
Already, the opposition candidates have hurled accusations of nepotism. The two brothers, known for their cool demeanour. are taking it in their stride and are campaigning hard. Outside their operations centre hangs a huge banner showing both brothers waving at onlookers.
 
Loong Thye waved goodbye to me as he rushed off to another meet-the-people session. I am a voter in Tanjung Bungah and Bukit Bendera.
