---

 
PASIR GUDANG: Pasir Gudang Umno has sent the name of Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin (pic) as its choice to contest the Pasir Gudang parliamentary seat in the 15th General Election (GE15).
The Umno vice-president, however, added that this has not been finalised and the official process of deciding on candidates has just started.
"Each division chief has sent names to the central leadership to be considered as candidates, and each division can send in five to seven names, but so far there has not been any decision made.
"As of today, the Pasir Gudang division has sent my name," he said when met after officiating at the Pasir Gudang Umno division meeting at Dewan Serbaguna Taman Mawar here Saturday (Oct 15).
Khaled said this when asked to comment on whether he would contest in Kota Tinggi, as his posters and banners have already been put up in the district.
Any decision on where he would be contesting would be made by the party leadership, he added.
Asked whether he preferred to contest Pasir Gudang, Khaled said members of the public should think about the future of their constituency and choose a party that can guarantee good returns in the coming days.
"Take the coming GE15 in a positive way and use it as a chance to vote for a stable government that can bring in investors, and prosperity to the country and the people.
"Do not be swayed by the fear of floods being sold by the Opposition, when we have already been 'drowning' in political instability for the past four years," he said.
Government agencies such as the National Disaster Management Agency (Nadma), police, health department, fire and rescue department, civil defence force, NGOs, and volunteers have been well prepared to help victims in case of any emergency, he added.
"Umno will also be there to lend a hand, as we have always been before," he said. - Star
