Not here to play: Siti Kasim to make political debut in GE15

[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Outspoken lawyer and activist Siti Kasim will be making her political debut in the widely talked about 15th general election (GE15) as an independent candidate under the Gerak Independent (GI) movement. 

In a press conference in conjunction with the launch of the movement’s app and candidate announcement today, the social activist said she is eyeing an urban parliamentary seat but did not divulge further details.

Siti added that GI candidates are ready to take on “bullfrogs” such as former prime ministers Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and Datuk Seri Najib Razak in their respective seats.

“We aim to win. We are not here to play the fool, we take this seriously.

“We are not trying to bring down or demonise anyone but we must start something different – an approach which has not been done before in Malaysia but has been done in Western countries.

“We want to show that you can have good people in the Parliament, not just based on political parties, and you can form a government even though there are more independent MPs than political parties,” she said.
