KANGAR: Perlis Umno will appoint community representatives in the three state constituencies declared vacant recently to serve residents there.
Perlis Umno chief Datuk Rozabil Abdul Rahman said the party would help residents in Guar Sanji, Bintong (Kangar) and Chuping (Padang Besar) so that they do not feel unrepresented, adding that the party would play its role as a community representative even though it did not have a single seat in the state.
“As community leaders, that’s what we do at the village, constituency and state levels,” he said at a media conference after chairing a Perlis Umno meeting here yesterday.
Rozabil also said Perlis Umno would tour all 15 state constituencies as part of early preparations for the 16th General Election, focusing on strengthening party machinery at all district polling centres, improving readiness in all three constituencies and fostering better relations between Umno and the people, Bernama reported.
“After we’ve completed the tour, we will hold a grand finale and invite Umno’s national leaders for the event,” he added.
