TEMERLOH — The Pahang Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) has opened two operation rooms in Cameron Highlands to help in the campaign of the DAP’s candidate representing Pakatan Harapan (PH) at the by-election for the parliamentary seat.
State Leadership Council (MPN) chairman Fuziah Salleh (pic) said the two operation rooms were in Tanah Rata, which was headed by the Cameron Highlands division chief, Tan Wei Wun, and in Jelai, headed by the Lipis division chief, Rizal Jamin.
‘’The resolution of the Pahang PKR is to give solid support to the DAP candidate and we will not demand the parliamentary seat. The selections of the two places to open the operation rooms were also made based on our strength as there are many Orang Asli voters there. We have also started our activities early and based on our experience in Port Dickson, there was an increase in the setting up of our branches there after the by-election which we hope will also happen in Cameron Highlands,’’ she said.
Fuziah said this to reporters after chairing her first MPN meeting here yesterday which was also attended by 10 of the 14 division leaders while the rest were absent as they had to attend to unavoidable businesses.
She also personally regarded the Cameron Highlands by-elections as the platform for her first test but was confident that Pahang PKR could contribute to victory for PH on the basis of the co-operations from all division heads and party members.
The Cameron Highlands by-election would be held after the General Election Court decided that the victory of Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Datuk C. Sivarraajh at the 14th General Election (GE14) was null and void due to the presence of the elements of corruption to get votes.
The Election Commission (EC) fixed Jan 12 for nomination and polling on Jan 26.
