SUNGAI BULOH: Barisan Nasional candidate Khairy Jamaluddin says the turnout for his campaign to become Sungai Buloh’s next MP shows that the people can expect winds of change in their constituency.

“After a week of campaigning, I am very happy with the turnout in Sungai Buloh. This is an indication that there will be winds of change in Sungai Buloh.

“I have fallen in love with Sungai Buloh and can’t wait to become the MP. If possible, I want to start serving the people of Sungai Buloh today,” he said during a meet-the-people rally here today.

He said he expected the voters in Sungai Buloh to elect him as their new MP. The constituency has been represented by R Sivarasa (Pakatan Harapan-PKR) since 2018.

Khairy said he would stick to his routine of hard work.

“I have already worked very hard as the health minister and I pledge to work very hard in Sungai Buloh as well. Please do not ‘waste’ the opportunity when I have been given the chance to stand as a candidate here, for the sake of progress and development. You need someone to fight for you,” he said to applause.

The Sungai Buloh parliamentary constituency has 160,000 voters, made up of Malays (65%), Chinese (21%), Indians (10%) and 2% others.

BN treasurer-general Hishammuddin Hussein, who was at the rally, referred to Khairy as a “game changer” sent to Sungai Buloh by BN, to bring about changes and to attract young voters.

“We need a ‘game changer’ especially in the political world. If we remain ‘stagnant’, there will be no changes and the people, especially the youths, will be tired due to the lack of progress and will lose interest in the current developments,” he said.

Hishammuddin said Khairy’s dedication as health minister proved his capabilities in tackling tough assignments when the country was affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I have known him for 20 years. He is a hardworking person. However tough the assignment is, he will put his heart and soul to fulfil the obligation,” he said.

In Sungai Buloh, Khairy will be involved in a six-cornered fight comprising R Ramanan (PH-PKR), Ghazali Hamin (Perikatan Nasional), Akmal Yusoff (Pejuang), Ahmad Jufliz Faiza (Parti Rakyat Malaysia) as well as independent candidates Syed Abdul Razak Syed Long Alsagoff and Nurhaslinda Basri. - FMT
