Day 6: 'Interlok' row goes to Tenang




9.45am: Deputy Defence Minister Abdul Latiff Ahmad to lead gotong royong programme at Kampung Pekan Air Panas.

11.30am: Indian parties and leaders from Pakatan Rakyat lodge a police report at the Tenang Station police station, protesting the use of the novel 'Interlok' as a school textbook.
11.34am: The sun is out, but pregnant rain clouds have formed in the horizon. Looks like it's going to be yet another wet day.

2.30pm: The pro-BN faction of the Malaysian Makkal Sakhti Party (MMSP) is expected to lodge a police report at the Labis police station over "misrepresentation".

In earlier news reports leading to nomination day for the Tenang by-election, MMSP secretary-general R Kannan had pledged his support for PAS candidate Normala Sudirman, and allegiance to Pakatan Rakyat.

The party, launched by Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak in October 2009, has since split into two factions - one pro-BN and other pro-Pakatan.
