Perlis UMNO will appoint community representatives to serve residents in three state constituencies recently declared vacant, ensuring they feel championed.
KANGAR: Perlis UMNO will appoint community representatives in three state constituencies recently declared vacant to serve residents there.
Perlis UMNO chief Datuk Rozabil Abdul Rahman said this would help residents in Guar Sanji, Bintong and Chuping feel not abandoned and unrepresented.
He stated the party would play its role as a community representative even without a single seat in the state assembly.
“As a community leader, that’s what we do at the village level, the constituency level and the state level,” he said after chairing a Perlis UMNO meeting.
“Since the three areas don’t have any elected representatives, we will be more specific to ensure the people there feel championed and we will help them as best as possible.”
Rozabil also shared that Perlis UMNO would tour all 15 state constituencies as early preparations for the 16th general election.
The tour will focus on strengthening party machinery at all district voting centres and improving readiness in all three parliamentary constituencies.
It will also focus on fostering relations between UMNO and the public.
“Insya-Allah, we will hold the finale on a grand scale, and invite central leadership to attend after we’ve completed the tour,” he added.
