JOHOR BARU – Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) will ensure its candidates at the Johor election pass the anti-corruption psychometric test recommended by Rasuah Busters.

Its deputy president, Haniza Mohamed Talha, said this was in line with the aspiration of voters who wanted clean and responsible leaders, in addition to the party directives in tandem with the six cores outlined by Rasuah Busters.

“Johor will become PBM’s first general election and we want our candidates to be clean and free of corruption so that they can carry out their duties with full responsibility if they win,” she said in a statement here today. 

Haniza, who is also the Lembah Jaya assemblyman, said the move could boost the integrity of all candidates with potential, helping to create better leaders.

Last Thursday, PBM information chief Zakaria Abdul Hamid reportedly said that the party would contest two seats, to be announced before nomination day.

The Election Commission has fixed polling day for the Johor election on March 12, nomination day on February 26, and early voting on March 8. – Bernama, February 13, 2022
