KKB polls: PRM launches a six-point manifesto

HULU SELANGOR: Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) launched its Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) by-election manifesto containing six offers.

The six offers include establishing a herbal plant technology hub, encouraging KKB citizens to be involved in eco-tourism economic activities, and ensuring the infrastructure of public facilities, government buildings, police stations, and drainage systems is in good and safe condition.

The manifesto also proposes increasing welfare allocations to families of low-grade civil servants, women, the elderly, people with disabilities, and children.

PRM candidate Hafizah Zainuddin, when contacted by Bernama, said the by-election manifesto was launched at the 53rd PRM National Congress held at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH) on Sunday (April 28).

The KKB by-election campaign, which entered its second day today, saw a four-cornered battle involving former press secretary to the Minister of Housing and Local Government Pang Sock Tao (Pakatan Harapan), acting head of Hulu Selangor Bersatu Khairul Azhari Saut (Perikatan Nasional), Hafizah and Nyau Ke Xin (Independent).

It was held following its incumbent, Lee Kee Hiong, 58, who passed away due to cancer on March 21.

The Election Commission set the voting day on May 11 and early voting on May 7. – Bernama
