JOHOR BARU: Businessman Datuk Othman Yusof, who will contest the Kukup state seat in GE14, will resign from his corporate positions if he wins.

He is the executive director of Country Garden Pacificview Sdn Bhd (CGPV), the master developer of the Forest City project.

Othman, the Tanjung Piai Umno division chief, won the Kukup seat in the 2008 general election but was replaced by another Umno candidate in the 2013 polls.

“I would have to resign from corporate posts … this would include my position in Forest City as well,” he added.

Asked on the projects that he will bring to Kukup if elected, Othman said; “All that will be shared once I win the seat”.
