The old man of Gua Musang


Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has set another record by being the oldest candidate to contest in the coming general election.
KOTA BARU: In politics, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah has set many records. And today he set yet another one. At 76, he is the oldest candidate to stand in the coming election.
He was nominated by Barisan Nasional to defend the Gua Musang seat which he has held for nine consecutive terms.
A former bank officer, Tengku Razaleigh joined Umno in 1962 and his first outing at the hustings was in 1969. That year, he won the Ulu Kelantan Barat seat (now Gua Musang) by beating a PAS candidate.
He moved on to the parliamentary level in 1974 and since then has been the MP for Gua Musang. He set up the Semangat 46 party in 1989 after Umno was declared an unlawful party by the court.
He later rejoined Umno, but did not hold any government post.
PAS veteran Wan Abdul Rahim Abdullah is likely to take on Tengku Razaleigh in Gua Musang.
Wan Abdul Rahim will be leaving the comfort of his Kota Baru seat to put his political career on the line as he will be going after a giant in Malaysian politics.
But Rahim, 61, said recently that the time was ripe to cause an upset in Gua Musang.
Last year, according to PAS insiders, Wan Rahim was on the verge of retirement after three decades of active politics. He told his associates he felt he was getting old and needed to concentrate on his family commitments.
However, the PAS leadership, cognisant of his value as a strategist, managed to persuade him to fight another round.
This has fit in with the party’s decision to take the offensive – instead of relying on defensive tactics— in keeping Kelantan. Hence, the move to pit Rahim against Tengku Razaleigh, affectionately known as Ku Li.
PAS is expected to bank on the prince’s uncertain political allegiance. He has actively supported PAS on the issue of royalty payments for petroleum.
