Wanita Keadilan Chief, Zuraida Kamaruddin urged Datuk Mah Siew Keong, the new MP of Teluk Intan to ‘not be a puppet to your UMNO master’.
In a statement released on Sunday, Zuraida said that Mah’s victory ‘is nothing to be proud of’ considering he had already been the MP of the same constituency previously and that he only managed to increase the votes for Barisan Nasional (BN) by 71.
“During his tenure back then, how much change did he bring to the people of Teluk Intan? Mah’s victory relied mainly on the postal votes and this is also something that could have been due to Zahid’s (Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi) warning that the government knows who is voting for whom.
“The 238 postal votes and the total votes that do not tally raises questions to whether Mah’s win is actually tenable,” she said in the statement.
She added, now that the by-election is over, it is time for Mah to fulfil his promises especially since he will be made a minister.
In the statement, Zuraida insisted for Mah to ‘not cheat the people of Teluk Intan’ after promising them development during the campaign.
“Do your job and deliver on your promises or else the people will know what to do in the next general election. Of course, if Mah had wanted to deliver development to Teluk Intan, he would have done so previously when he was the MP there. Now, we just have to wait to see if it will materialise or whether it becomes just another empty promise,” she added.
Zuraida also encouraged Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud, the DAP candidate at the Teluk Intan parliamentary seat by-election that this is the beginning for her career and that Mah ‘will most likely be only a transit MP until GE-14’.
Gerakan president Mah polled 20,157 votes to beat Dyana by a majority of 238 votes and recaptured the seat won by the DAP in the 2008 and 2013 general elections. Dyana had garnered 19,919 votes.
