Muda can provide check and balance in Terengganu - Syed Saddiq

Muda decided to contest in the Terengganu election next month to carry out the party’s check and balance function in the east coast state.

Its president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said the party decided to contest the Bandar state seat, despite having no funds or large machinery, because the party wanted to bring new politics to the state.

“For that reason, Muda appeals for the opportunity to be the driving force behind the check and balance system... because finally with the addition of Muda’s voice, if there is misconduct then we will speak out.

“If there is an improvement in terms of policy, Muda will bring it forward,” Syed Saddiq (above) said at the press conference launching the party’s Bandar operations room yesterday.

Muda information chief Luqman Long will contest the Bandar state seat.

Luqman, who is also a native of the Bandar state constituency, said the view that Muda is a foreign party on the east coast is just a perception.

Apart from the youth party, BN has also announced its candidate, Armi Irzan Mohd to contest the Bandar seat currently held by the incumbent from PAS, Ahmad Shah Muhamed, who won with a majority of 2,091 votes in the last 14th general election.
