Out of PH, but ex-MB confident of retaining non-Malay support

[superadmin]

PAGOH: Dr Sahruddin Jamal, the former Johor menteri besar who won the Bukit Kepong seat on a Pakatan Harapan ticket in 2018, has professed confidence in his ability to retain the support of non-Malay voters although he has switched his allegiance to Perikatan Nasional.

Speaking to FMT, he claimed that the Chinese and Indians in the constituency knew him well because of the three health clinics he was operating.

“The Indian and Chinese communities knew me even before GE14,” he said. “I’ve been serving them through my clinics since 2011.”
Non-Malays made up 30% of the voters in Bukit Kepong in 2018.

Sahruddin said it was his custom to disregard race when inviting people to events he would organise.
