MUAR, Sept 7 ― Former Sungai Abong assemblyman Dr Sheikh Ibrahim Sheikh Salleh has described PAS' aspirations to win back the seat now known as Simpang Jeram as futile because the party is no longer relevant in that constituency.
“PAS used to resonate with my values; at that time, our struggle was friendly to the non-Muslims, and the 'PAS For All' slogan unexpectedly received an overwhelming response from the Chinese and the Indians. It aligned perfectly with my ideals,” he said. “When they can’t secure support from the Chinese community, PAS will bring up the 3R issue. I believe that in the future, they will become even more extreme because Barisan Nasional and PH are part of a coalition that is more moderate, including the more moderate DAP and every other party,” he said.
“Because I'm a doctor and a local here, I have been serving here since I started my duty in the 1980s until today. Even though I have retired, I am a doctor in service and a candidate in service, providing healthcare to the residents here throughout my tenure as the assemblyman.”
