‘We’ll work hard to win Chinese votes’


JOHOR BARU: All Barisan Nasional component parties must work hard to ensure that they can win over the Chinese votes in the Pulai and Simpang Jeram by-elections, says state Barisan information chief Datuk Md Jais Sarday (pic).

“The Chinese may be the kingmakers, as Pulai is a mixed seat with 40.46% of the voters comprising Chinese constituents.“Due to the Chinese voters and a huge turnout of voters in the Johor state election, Pulai MP Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub won the seat with a huge majority of 33,000 votes,” he said in an interview.
