Don’t politicise my education, says Pang

9am: Pakatan Harapan candidate Pang Sock Tao does not wish to prolong the debate over her vernacular education background.

“My academic achievements are the result of my parents’ hard work in providing me with the best education. I believe all parents want the best for their children.

“Therefore, as a representative of the people, this matter should not be politicised, and we must respect parents’ decisions regarding the most suitable and best education for their children,” she said as quoted by Bernama.

The 31-year-old spoke after a meet and greet session with the Orang Asli community of Kampung Tun Razak, last night.

Yesterday, Pasir Mas MP Ahmad Fadhli Shaari from PAS challenged Pang to reveal her school background, after which the latter responded by sharing her straight-A SPM and UPSR results.

Harapan candidate to unveil manifesto on Friday

8.20am: Pakatan Harapan candidate Pang Sock Tao will announce the coalition’s Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) election manifesto this Friday (May 3).

According to the 31-year-old, the document was meticulously crafted to offer comprehensive proposals to develop the community, including the Orang Asli.

“On Friday, I will provide the details... the relevant issues are what we offer and our plans for the residents of KKB,” Bernama quoted Pang saying during a meet and greet session with the Orang Asli community of Kampung Tun Razak, last night.

Should she be given the mandate on May 11, Pang also pledged to reside in KKB and address the people’s issues. - Mkini
