KUALA LUMPUR – Incumbent Ampang MP Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin is confident that she will retain the seat in the 15th general election (GE15) despite using a new logo.

Contesting under the Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) logo, she said the constituents are familiar with her and her personality as their representative.

“The Ampang people have known me for 15 years. We are already like a family so they will not feel awkward supporting me, even under the new logo, because they look at the personality and service of the individual (not the party),” she said, when met after the launching ceremony of PBM’s election machinery here last night.

She said the Ampang election machinery consists of nearly 5,000 people.

Meanwhile, Zuraida said the party would run solo in GE15 and support the new government after the election to protect the rights of Ampang’s people.

“We will support the government of the day because I want to make sure that I can defend the rights of Ampang’s people and get MP allocations so I can serve them,” she said.

At the event, Zuraida handed over campaign items to Datuk Faridi Yaakob, PBM’s GE15 director for Ampang.

Also present were PBM Women’s chief and Sementa assemblyman Daroyah Alwi, Lembah Jaya assemblyman Haniza Mohamed Talha, and PBM secretary-general Nor Hizwan Ahamda. – Bernama, November 4, 2022
