KUALA SELANGOR – Although considered a political newcomer, Barisan Nasional’s (BN) candidate for the Kuala Selangor parliamentary seat, Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz, says he has already identified the problems faced by its constituents. 

He said before being nominated to contest the seat in the looming general election, he had identified many issues that would need his attention if elected. 

He has also made dozens of field trips to meet residents in almost every corner of the constituency in the past two months.

Tengku Zafrul said the local issues include infrastructure; public transport; welfare, community, and improving the quality of life; employment and business; as well as education and skills development.

“I have listened and understood their problems and will solve more than 50 local issues for the benefit of the community here,” the caretaker finance minister said after a walkabout at a supermarket here today.

Through a post on his Facebook page, he vowed to channel 100% of the MP’s allocation towards the constituents, besides promising to publish an annual performance and financial report for review.

“The residents of Kuala Selangor will also benefit through the establishment of parliamentary service centres in the three state constituencies under Kuala Selangor, which will operate six days a week,” said Tengku Zafrul, who added that the experience gained as finance minister would be used to help the people.

In the coming polls, he will face the incumbent and former health minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad of Pakatan Harapan, Mohd Shaid Rosli (Pejuang), and Mohd Noor Mohd Sahar (Perikatan Nasional). – Bernama, November 5, 2022
