IN THE last three elections, voters in the Ipoh Timur parliamentary seat and its three state constituencies — Canning, Tebing Tinggi and Pasir Pinji — have favoured the Opposition.

Barisan Nasional’s MCA helmed the seat for the two terms immediately after it was created in 1995 but since 2004, DAP has won the seat with higher vote counts in every election.
