PARTI Bangsa Malaysia (PBM) has announced that it will likely be making its electoral debut at the upcoming Johor state election.
“Based on the latest political developments, statistics and feedback from the ground, it is likely that we will be fielding our candidates,” said party deputy president Haniza Mohamed Talha.
“However, we are still in the midst of discussions with our leaders as well as with others outside PBM.”
Haniza went on to stress that PBM will only field candidates in areas where the leaders have served the people there and are known to the electorate.
“These candidates will then stand a good chance of winning,” she said, adding that PBM is a strong multi-racial party and that is a unifying factor for all Malaysians.
“PBM is also pushing for more women and youth representation in elections. These untapped talents will certainly contribute towards better economy and nation building,” she remarked.
“I was once from a multi-racial party, but as time passed, it diverted from its original course and from its struggles to bring reforms.
“I decided to join PBM because it is the party of today and the future. PBM was my choice also because of its focus on women and youth empowerment, economy, education, advancement in science and technology.”
On immediate plans as the deputy president, Haniza stressed that she wanted to help strengthen PBM and make it the choice of Malaysians in the next election.
“Some of the plans lined up, include roadshows to all 14 PBM states, meeting leaders and new members, promoting PBM to all, through programmes and engagements with the rakyat.
“We are also organising more membership drives. On preparations for the 15th general election (GE15), we are in the process of identifying potential candidates, seats, and setting up their electoral machinery.” – Jan 31, 2022
