This is a non-issue. Just my curiosity.
I can’t help but notice that the BN’s candidate for Perak MB, who was duly appointed by the Sultan looks like an Indian. Is he a 3/4, 1/2, or 1/4 Indian? Anyone can clarify? Perhaps his roots are Indian? Or, another possibility is he has Orang Asli/aborigines blood? Some people may say since his from Pangkor Island, naturally darker skinned because the locals there were involved in fishing (exposed to hot sun) and fish processing (heat).
Or is it just poor lighting during the shoot?

It will be a great boost indeed as he will be following the steps of other politicians. Plus he is a PhD holder (?).
