RAPPER turned politician Altimet – real name Syed Ahmad Syed Abdul Rahman – is aiming to become Ampang PKR chief as a way to give back to the community that has made a huge impact on his personal and professional life.
The hip-hop star, who is in the race with Datuk Hans Isaac and other seasoned party members, also explains he has no bad blood with them.
Altimet also said he is a self-styled underdog in the election, being the “greenest” candidate with the “least amount of preparation and resources”.
Despite the lack of heavy campaigning and participation in party activities, the 43-year-old believes he has laid down enough groundwork after carrying out a “good amount” of charity, and non-governmental organisation work, especially in the past year.
Ampang is considered a hot seat as the winner will likely be challenging former division chief Datuk Zuraida Kamaruddin – who was fired from the party and joined Bersatu following the Sheraton Move in February 2020 – in the next general election. – The Vibes, May 14, 2022
