Indie candidate rebuffs criticisms

8am: Kuala Kubu Bharu, Selangor - Besides candidates from Pakatan Harapan, Perikatan Nasional, and Parti Rakyat Malaysia, an independent candidate has also entered the fray.

Nyau Ke Xin, 27, is the youngest candidate in the by-election. Hailing from the coastal town of Sabak Bernam in northwest Selangor, she now works in the state’s capital - Shah Alam.

After becoming a candidate, she faced many criticisms. In response, she clarified on TikTok that she has never joined or was employed by any political party.

“Do not be deceived by the words of some irresponsible parties. I have never been a member of any political party, as claimed by some.

“I am not paid by MCA, DAP, Gerakan, or PN. Do not be deceived by these parties who hope that I will withdraw from this by-election.” - Mkini
