KUALA KUBU BHARU - Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate, Pang Sock Tao, arrived at the polling centre of Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) Khing Ming accompanied by her twin sister, Pang Sock Ying, on Saturday.

However, the 31-year-old candidate did not cast her vote at the Kuala Kubu Baharu State Assembly (DUN) Hall.
Meanwhile, Sock Ying said she was confident that her younger sister, Sock Tao could be a good representative of the people if she wins the by-election.
Describing his sister as a hard worker, Sock Ying said that the 31-year-old candidate indeed showed a high interest in becoming a representative of the people.
"When she (Sock Tao) first announced that she would run in the election, my family and I were a little surprised because we were worried that she would not be getting enough rest.
"This is because I know she is a very hard worker, but getting involved in politics is normal in our family.
"My hope is that she can achieve her dream of becoming a representative of the people and I wish the best for my twins," she said when met at the polling station.
Asked if she was also interested in joining politics, Sock Ying who is an officer at one of the banks in Kuala Lumpur admitted that she had not thought in that direction yet.
Earlier, Sock Tao who arrived at SJKC Khing Ming surprised the media when she admitted she had twins.
She was also excited to meet a pair of twins, Chan Sher Er and Chan Sher Ni, 25 who cast their votes at the school.
