Don’t take Tenang polls lightly, Muhyiddin tells BN machinery

LABIS: Barisan Nasional should not take the Tenang by-election lightly but instead work hard to show that the state remains a Barisan stronghold.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin called on the Barisan machinery to work hard to gain a bigger majority of more than 5,000 votes.

In 2008, the Barisan won with a 2,492 majority while it had a comfortable 5,517-vote majority in 2004.

“Do not take it for granted that Johor is a Barisan stronghold. Each vote is important. Also, do not underestimate our opponent,” he said.

Muhyiddin, who was addressing a huge crowd at the naming of the Barisan candidate at the Labis Umno headquarters, also took potshots at the Opposition about its failures and empty promises and even branded Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as the biggest liar and traitor.

At his press conference, Muhyiddin expressed confidence that Mohd Azahar Ibrahim was the best candidate because of his background as an assistant district officer and his involvement in the Labis Umno division.

“Mohd Azahar’s pick as candidate should not be seen as us not having confidence in the Labis Umno division leaders although we usually consider those holdings posts.

“However, this is an exceptional case and Mohd Azahar has the support of all the Barisan members,” he said, adding that as a young candidate, Mohd Azahar would be able to go down and address the needs of the people.

Oldest voter in Tenang is 110

LABIS: The oldest voter in the Tenang constituency is a 110-year-old Chinese man.

This was revealed by Johor Election Commission director Othman Noh who said Chong Kian was born in 1900 and is living with his children in Sabah.

“We are not sure if he is coming back to vote,” he said, adding that there were 70 voters above the age of 90 in the constituency.

He added that the bulk of the constituency’s 14,753 voters was below 50 years old totalling 8,542 people.

“The biggest age group comprises voters between the ages of 40 to 49,” he said in an interview.

Retiree Alias Bujal, 94, from Kg Tenang said that this will be his 13th time voting since independence.

“I am always excited about voting as I am exercising my right as a citizen,” he said.

Alias said that he was happy with the progress in his village saying most residents work in oil palm and rubber estates.

Another elderly voter Zaiton Said, 87, said that she too would be voting but hoped someone would look into solving the drainage problem outside her home in Kg Tenang.

“I am living alone and my home gets flooded each time there is heavy rain.

“Nobody seems to bother to clean the drains which are in a poor condition in my village,” she said, adding that her husband and only son had died some time ago.

Zaiton said her nephew visited her occasionally to give her money.

Zaiton said that Tenang has definitely become the centre of attention.

“Hopefully, the government will be able to solve all the small problems faced by the kampung folk,” she said with a smile.
