Teo: DAP may field MPs as candidates

KULAI: DAP may field several of its MPs as candidates in the Johor state polls, state deputy chairman Teo Nie Ching said.

She said some of the party’s leaders felt that this should be considered.

“So far, nothing has been finalised. I will abide by the party’s decision. If they think that I should be a candidate, I will follow the instruction.

“However, if they say that I should not contest, then I will also not be worried as I know that there are many capable and suitable candidates from Johor,” the Kulai MP told reporters after visiting Gunung Pulai here yesterday.

On a separate matter, she urged the Federal Government to give a timeframe for the full reopening of the border with Singapore.

She said this was important as businesses here were dependent on Singaporean visitors.
