Age not a hurdle for Perikatan candidate


‘Uncle’ figure: Khairul (right) meeting with voters at Hulu Yam Lama.

HULU SELANGOR: Perikatan Nasional’s 54-year-old candidate Khairul Azhari Saut is often seen as an “uncle” figure by younger locals in Kuala Kubu Baru and despite being over two decades older than his main opponent in the by-election, he says age is just a number.

“Whether you can deliver or not, that is another thing. Because, you have to serve the people and at the end of the day, it is about what you can do for voters,” he said when met at a Hari Raya event at a mosque in Bukit Bujang recently.
