Perikatan National (PN) candidate Steven Lai, vying for the Balakong constituency in Selangor, has turned heads by incorporating dance and catchy music into his political campaign. A video circulating on social media captures Lai and two supporters donning PN t-shirts, dancing to the upbeat tune of "Low" by Flo Rida while highlighting his campaign promises.

In the video, Lai enthusiastically declares, "If PN wins, Selangor hawkers are exempted from paying license fees for 5 years," and "If PN wins, Selangor will provide free childcare centers." 

The video's unique approach has generated a wide range of reactions from Malaysians across the board. Some view it as a refreshing departure from the typical campaign strategies. However, the video has also attracted criticism. Some skeptics question whether dance and promises set to music are enough to ensure genuine policy changes.

The video's mixed reactions underscore the evolving landscape of political campaigning in the digital age. Social media has become a powerful platform for candidates to engage with their constituents in innovative ways, yet it also exposes them to heightened scrutiny and diverse opinions.

As the Balakong constituency prepares to cast their votes, all eyes are on Steven Lai's unconventional campaign strategy. Will his dance-infused approach resonate positively with the voters and sway their decisions, or will it be perceived as a mere spectacle lacking in substantial policy details?
