JOHOR BARU: Being the youngest candidate in a five-way fight for the Semerah state seat, lawyer Mohd Fared Mohd Khalid hopes to charm voters with his people-friendly persona.

The 43-year-old played down his looks and said he aims to offer voters his services and focus on everyday issues such as making sure the needs of the people, such as senior citizens, fishermen and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), are met.
