KUALA LUMPUR – DAP will be banking on newbie Muhamad Danish Zainudin to wrest Pengkalan Batu from former party man and incumbent Datuk Norhizam Hassan Baktee.

Danish, aged 25, is DAP’s Pengkalan Batu rep coordinator and Melaka DAP youth secretary.

DAP is fielding another newcomer – Leng Chau Yen, 37 – to contest in Bandar Hilir, while its incumbent, Tey Kok Kiew, will be running for Bemban.

Leng is Melaka DAP publicity secretary since 2018 and Tey’s political secretary (2013-2021). Moreover, she is head of Kota Melaka DAP women’s wing as well.

Meanwhile, Bemban’s incumbent Wong Fort Pin is not in the running, according to the candidate list released by DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng today.

Five of its candidates will be looking to keep their seats – Saminathan Ganesan (Gadek), Kerk Chee Yee (Ayer Keroh), Allex Seah Shoo Chin (Kesidang), Low Chee Leong (Kota Laksamana), and Damian Yeo Shen Li (Duyong).

DAP has the least allocation of seats among its Pakatan Harapan allies. PKR is contesting in 11 seats, while Amanah is eyeing nine. – The Vibes, November 5, 2021
