AYER KEROH: Former DAP man Norhizam Hassan Baktee was a hardworking assemblyman but it’s time for Pengkalan Batu voters to move on from the defector, says the new Pakatan Harapan candidate for the state constituency.
DAP’s Muhammad Danish Zainudin said Melaka needed fresh and vibrant candidates who were capable of coming up with new policies that would benefit the people.
“I respect Norhizam as he was a hard worker, especially when serving his constituents.
“However, we need to move one step forward. Do we want fresher politics or do we want the opposite? The people of Melaka have to determine who is best to represent them for the next five years,” he told FMT.
Danish hoped that all candidates vying for the Pengkalan Batu seat would compete in a healthy manner and be able to ensure that everything they offered would be for the benefit of the voters.
On the Malay community’s distrust of DAP, he said Melakans felt the party had taken care of all people regardless of race and religion during its 22 months in the PH state government.
