MELAKA – Melaka’s youngest state election candidate Farzana Hayani Mohd Nasir says her young age would not be an obstacle to serving the people if she is given the mandate for the Sg Rambai seat.
Farzana, 21, affectionately known as Nana, said she is ready and willing to serve the people of Melaka, especially the community in her area.
“Honestly, I never thought I would be chosen as a candidate to contest, but I am ready to help the people and the community in the state of Melaka,” she said when contacted via Skype on Bernama TV’s Ruang Bicara programme last night.
The head of Melaka PKR women’s youth wing said if she is chosen by the people, among the issues she would give serious attention to is increasing internet access throughout the state of Melaka to facilitate education and encourage more people to venture into online entrepreneurship.
Farzana said as a student, she knows the pain of internet interruptions while studying.
“As a student, I give great importance to the internet access, because in my experience as a student at home, it (internet access) is very important for families who have schoolgoing children, especially in the Sg Rambai area.
“I am also confident that more people will get involved in the entrepreneurship programme (with better internet access),” said Farzana, who is an undergraduate at UiTM Shah Alam and holds a Diploma in Communication and Media Studies from UiTM’s Rembau Campus.
The Melaka election on November 20 will see a four-cornered fight for the Sg Rambai seat, with Pakatan Harapan’s Farzana going up against Muhammad Jefri Safry (Perikatan Nasional), Siti Faizah Abdul Azis (Barisan Nasional) and Nazatul Ashraf Md Dom (Putra). – Bernama, November 8, 2021
