DAP’s ex-Paloh rep to contest for Wee’s Ayer Hitam seat
PETALING JAYA: DAP’s former Paloh assemblyman Sheikh Omar Ali will be contesting for the Ayer Hitam parliamentary seat in the general election.
MCA president Wee Ka Siong is widely expected to defend the seat for a fifth term, having represented the parliamentary constituency since 2004.
In the 2018 general election, Wee defeated DAP strategist Liew Chin Tong by a slim majority of 303 votes.
Sheikh Omar won the Paloh state seat in GE14 but failed to defend it during the Johor state election in March. He lost to MCA’s Lee Ting Han by 3,176 votes.
