MALACCA POLLS | Former Bemban assemblyperson Ng Choon Koon is determined to return contesting on an independent ticket to continue his efforts to serve the community which he was the elected representative for one term.
The 46-year-old former lawyer said he is putting his fate in the state election to fulfil the needs of the people there who wanted him to return, and it did not cross his mind that he was avenging against any party.
“I am familiar with the work of making myself available to the people over welfare matters as well as problems faced by them even though I was not the assemblyperson.
“What is important now is to focus on resolving flood problems which frequently occur in the constituency or to develop an education hub and ensuring the lack of internet access is addressed as well as to realise the plan to build 1,000 units of affordable houses,” he said today.
As a local boy, Ng wants to focus on seven main matters for the well-being and harmony of Bemban residents while his return to stand in the area is still to serve the voters.
Ng was the Bemban assemblyperson under BN in the 13th general election and was later fielded in Kesidang in the 14th general election but lost.
For the upcoming state election, Ng is facing five other contestants namely Perikatan Nasional’s Dr Yadzil Yaakub, Pakatan Harapan candidate Tey Kok Kiew, BN’s Koh Chin Han and Azmi Kamis (Independent).
In the 14th general election, the Bemban seat was won by Wong Fort Pin (DAP) with a majority of 1,345 votes.
The Election Commission has set the polling day on Nov 20 while early voting commenced today.
