Sole opposition rep wants to work with state govt to develop Perlis

 

The sole opposition representative in the Perlis state legislative assembly, Gan Ay Ling, said she is ready to cooperate with the state government to develop Perlis in the spirit of cooperation at the federal government level.

The PKR assemblyperson, who won the Indera Kayangan seat in the 15th general election (GE15), said those who were given the mandate in the election need to set aside their differences and focus on developing Perlis to ensure it is on par with other states.

"Even though I am the only assemblyperson from the opposition party, I need to work together with other assemblypersons to bring development to the state to serve the people," she said.

She was speaking to reporters outside the assembly session at the Perlis state assembly complex today.

She said as an assemblyperson her job was to bring about good changes for the people even though the state government is being led by a different coalition than the one which leads the federal government - Pakatan Harapan.

"We don't need to waste time on unconstructive things. Instead, we should work with the federal government in helping the people of this state," she said.

She added that Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is concerned about the people and working to fulfil Harapan’s manifesto under the new government.
