Ahmad Mua
BARISAN Nasional’s Batu Tiga candidate Datuk Ahmad Mua’adzam Shah is putting the younger generation front and centre in his manifesto, prioritising education, jobs and religious education.
He said although Batu Tiga was in an industrial area, job opportunities for youths were scarce.
“In fact, over the years, so many factories have closed down. We need to look at opportunities for the youths to ensure the nation prospers,” he said.
Ahmad Mua'adzam, who goes by the monicker AMS, said he was set on fulfilling his manifesto which was focused on the younger generation.
One of the promises in the manifesto is free education at religious schools – a promise that he said suited Shah Alam well.
He said Shah Alam residents were mostly Muslim, and their children usually sat for religious classes before or after school.
“It will reduce their burden greatly if we can offer the free religious education for Muslims here.
"In addition, we are also offering RM2,000 to students accepted into varsities."
Ahmad Mua'adzam is also offering RM10,000 to students who graduate with first class honours.
He is also hoping to build fields in Padang Jawa to promote a healthy lifestyle among youngsters.
According to him, many places with the word padang in it did actually not have a field for the children.
“We need took at social issues as well, not just education. It comes in a package,” he stressed.
The information management graduate from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) has been actively campaigning door to door at the speed of light.
Often hopping from one place to another, Ahmad Mua’adzam, 44, focused on meeting people in their homes, especially the sick and elderly.
“They cannot come out and meet us, so we have to go down to the ground to meet them.
"The residents have been helpful. They mobilise during our visits, gathering needy residents in one place to make visits fast and efficient,” he said.
Limited time offer:
Just RM5 per month.
