JOHOR BARU – MIC intends to contest its four traditional state seats in Johor, in the state polls slated for March 12.

Deputy president Datuk Seri M. Saravanan said the intention will be conveyed to the Johor Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Datuk Hasni Mohammad at their meeting tomorrow.

“The meeting is to finalise the seat distribution. Our (MIC) president had told us to contest the seats that we have contested before.

“At the BN level, we do practise the concept of power-sharing and we will make the best choice for the party and the country,” said Saravanan at the launch of Tekun Entrepreneurs’ Socso Contribution Campaign here today.

Also present was Entrepreneur Development and Cooperatives Minister Tan Sri Noh Omar.

In the last general election, MIC contested the four state seats and won in Tenggaroh and Kahang, but lost in Gambir and Skudai. – Bernama, February 22, 2022
