Incumbent Cameron Highlands MP Ramli Mohd Nor will accept whatever decision made by the BN and Umno leadership on the allocation of seats for the 15th general election.
Ramli (above) said BN is the only party that offered a seat for an Orang Asli candidate in the previous general election and if he could contest again and if he wins, he would continue to serve the people well, especially the Orang Asli.
“I am a member of Umno and I will accept whatever decision is made by BN and Umno. If given a chance and picked as a candidate, I will do my best to defend the seat and provide the best service in Cameron Highlands. God willing,” he told Bernama today.
Ramli won the Cameron Highlands seat during a by-election after the Election Court had ruled the Cameron Highlands seat vacant, following proof of corrupt practices during the election for the seat which was won by BN candidate C Sivarrajah from MIC.
However, there are rumours that the seat, normally contested by MIC, would be handed to Umno while the MIC would be given the opportunity to contest in Teluk Intan.
According to statistics, the composition of the 45,749 voters in Cameron Highlands is made up of 14,687 Malays, 13,165 Orang Asli; 12,404 (Chinese) and 5,493 (Indians).
Ramli won the by-election with a 3,238 majority.
