MUDA has invited political parties to pitch ideas and find solutions to various problems in an “ideas competition” to be judged by the people.

Muda president Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman said they could present ideas on, among others, how to improve the public transport system, national education and workers’ salary.

“I hope there will be a contest on ideas and solutions to the problems faced by the people because it is an important platform for the people to choose us for parliament, to bring their voices as well as new and fresh ideas to help solve their problems,” he said.

He said this at a press conference at the Muda office in the Muar parliamentary constituency last night.

Commenting on Muda’s focus during the election campaign period, which entered its sixth day, Syed Saddiq said their focus is mainly on solutions to resolve the issues faced by the people.

Earlier, he declared his assets with a net asset value of RM1.9 million, most of which were acquired before and after joining politics and throughout his tenure as youth and sports minister.

The incumbent Muar MP said the declaration of property he owned as of September 30 was made in accordance with the Statutory Declaration Act 1960.

The Muar parliamentary seat will see a three-way fight involving Syed Saddiq, Barisan Nasional’s (BN) Mohd Helmy Abd Latif and Perikatan Nasional’s Abdullah Husin.

In the 2018 general election, Syed Saddiq, who was the Pakatan Harapan candidate from Bersatu, defeated incumbent Razali Ibrahim (BN) and Abdul Aziz Talib (PAS) with a majority of 6,953 votes. – Bernama, November 11, 2022.
