Zafrul skips around Kuala S’gor candidacy talk

PUTRAJAYA: The Finance Minister is playing coy over talk that he is eyeing the Kuala Selangor parliamentary seat for the coming general election.

Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz sidestepped questions about his possible candidacy.

“At the moment I am focused on my work at the ministry. There are a lot of issues that we are facing that need to be resolved,” he said.

“We also have to focus on economic recovery. So let me focus on that,” he said at a Hari Raya do yesterday.

Asked if he would be a candidate in the 15th General Election (GE15), Tengku Zafrul gave the same reply.

“I’m focusing on my work for now,” he said.

Although he said the “adoption” was to ensure the progress of the district in the near future, it has only fuelled speculation of his candidacy for the seat.
