(Facebook pic)PETALING JAYA: Muda will build on its support among young voters in Johor to become “an opposition of quality”, says party president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman after the party secured a seat in its first electoral outing.
Speaking at a press conference following the announcement of the Johor elections’ results yesterday, he said the party had done well with young voters as it had emerged as their second choice after more established parties.
“If we look at Muda’s performance (in the Johor elections), in seats like Bukit Permai and Tenang, Muda received 30% to 35% of support from Johor youths,” he said.
“We admit that this election was not easy for a two-month-old party contesting under its own flag.
“We have to work harder and better in future.
“Whether we win or lose (in elections), we have to continue with our politics of service,” he said.
Syed Saddiq congratulated the party’s secretary-general, Amira Aisya Abd Aziz, who won the Puteri Wangsa seat with a majority of more than 8,000 votes.
He also conveyed his “condolences” in jest to Amira, as she now had to work much harder after obtaining the mandate from the people.
He said “the people must come first, even above your personal interests, family or friends”.
Amira said her party had put up a good fight even in “unwinnable seats” despite having only a small election machinery.
“We will not stop serving (the Johoreans), and we will prove that,” she said.
Muda contested and lost in six other seats: Tenang, Bukit Kepong, Parit Raja, Machap, Bukit Permai and Larkin. - FMT
