SG BESAR – It is hoped that the people in north Selangor areas will not pick the wrong leaders in ensuring that the state development can be continued, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. 

He said residents of the Sabak Bernam, Sg Besar, Tg Karang and Kuala Selangor parliamentary areas especially need to retain leaders who are of good character to lead their constituencies so that the unity government will win in Selangor.

“We have good leaders…last night, I announced that for the Sg Burong state constituency, we have chosen Ustaz Khir (Mohamad Khir Ramli) to give victory to the unity government in Selangor.”

He said this in this speech at the Usahawan Desa (KUD) @ Sg Besar mini carnival and Sentuhan Kasih Desa Selangor programme at the Sg Besar Stadium in Sabak Bernam today, which was officiated by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Election Commission has fixed polling for the state elections in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Penang, Selangor and Negri Sembilan on August 12, nomination on July 29, while early voting is on August 8.

Meanwhile, Zahid, who is also the rural and regional development minister, said the Usahawan Desa mini carnival held today is an example of the government’s commitment in ensuring that rural entrepreneurs are not sidelined.

The three-day Usahawan Desa@Sg Besar programme organised by the ministry to run from 10am to 10pm ends tomorrow. – Bernama, July 22, 2023
