PETALING JAYA:

Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) has named S Tinagaran, popularly known as Cikgu Tina, as its sole candidate for Rahang in the Negeri Sembilan state election.

At a press conference held by the “progressive bloc” alliance between PSM and Muda, Tinagaran said PSM would use its electoral platform to highlight public issues and promote socialist ideas as an alternative to Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional (BN).

He said PSM was a “fighting party” and was not afraid to tackle issues affecting the people.

At the same event, Parti Orang Asli Malaysia named Dayana Dal as its candidate for Jeram Padang.

Tinagaran will contest Rahang against PH incumbent Siau Meow Kong and BN’s Yap Siok Moy, while Dayana will contest Jeram Padang against BN incumbent Zaidy Abdul Kadir and PH’s G Manivannan.

Earlier today, Muda president Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz said the party had decided to skip the Aug 1 Negeri Sembilan state election, following its failure to win a seat in the recently-concluded Johor polls.

She said Muda would support PSM in Rahang and focus on consolidating its strength and preparing for the next general election. - FMT
