JOHOR BAHRU: After six unsuccessful attempts in past elections, Amanah’s candidate in the Pulai parliamentary by-election next month has set his sights on a convincing win for Pakatan Harapan.
Suhaizan Kaiat, a former speaker of the state assembly, says he is optimistic of winning the hearts of Pulai voters based on his past service in the area since 2018.
“The Pulai seat belongs to PH and we want to retain it with a convincing majority. This is to give support to the unity government under Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim,” said Suhaizan, who has been Johor Amanah vice-chairman and head of the Pulai division since 2015.
He was confident of shouldering the responsibility given to him to continue with the legacy of the late Salahuddin Ayub, who was MP for Pulai until his death last month. “I am ready to take up this mandate,” he told reporters.
Salahuddin was re-elected in Pulai at the general election in November, securing a majority of 33,174 votes against his rival from Barisan Nasional, Nur Jazlan Mohamed.
Suhaizan said Salahuddin’s advice to his officers to serve the people well would be his motivation to work hard and succeed.
Voting takes place on Sept 9 in Pulai and also in Simpang Jeram for the state assembly seat which fell vacant after Salahuddin’s death. Nazri Abdul Rahman was named the Amanah candidate to defend the seat. - FMT
