SEREMBAN – Sg Buloh is a safe parliamentary constituency for Khairy Jamaluddin to contest in the coming general election, said Barisan Nasional (BN) deputy chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

Mohamad said the decision to field Khairy was due to the party machinery’s positive response, which welcomed the caretaker health minister’s candidacy for the seat.

“Sg Buloh has more than 70% Malay voters, a very safe seat for Khairy. The Sg Buloh Umno division chief is Khairy’s political secretary (Datuk Megat Firdouz Megat Junid), Umno there welcomes him, it is better to go there than go somewhere where people do not accept him.

“Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very safe seat because the people there want a candidate from Umno... I’m sure Khairy will excel,” he told reporters after handing over candidate documents to Negri Sembilan BN candidates here today.

Khairy is an outstanding leader with a bright future in the party, he added.

Mohamad said this when asked to comment on Khairy’s nomination to contest the parliamentary seat, which was announced by BN chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi recently. – Bernama, November 3, 2022
