Johor DAP chairman Liew Chin Tong explained how the three key political figures are interlinked with one another in the state by-election.
He said a vote for Syed Hussien is a vote for a capable and responsible representative who is deeply familiar with local issues.
“Syed Hussien, as the candidate representing the unity government and a native of Kluang, is committed to the development of Kluang if elected as an assemblyman,” he said in a Facebook post.
Aside from Syed Hussien, Liew said, Onn Hafiz’s focus on economic development and the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone makes him another key figure in the by-election.
“Your vote for Syed Hussien is also a vote for Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi’s economic reform agenda,” he said.
The deputy investment, trade and industry minister said Syed Hussien’s victory would also bolster Anwar’s ongoing efforts to rebuild and restore the economy.
“To achieve this goal, we need to support the unity government, which is being constantly attacked by the opposition seeking to undermine a government that serves the people,” he said.
The Mahkota by-election will be held on Sept 28, with early voting set for Sept 24.
The by-election will see a straight fight between Syed Hussien and Perikatan Nasional’s Haizan Jaafar.
