In the Johor state election, a candidate from the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition is demonstrating resilience and commitment by campaigning vigorously, even without direct support from the Pas party's organizational resources. Lim Chin Eng, the 73-year-old Bersatu candidate for the Stulang state constituency, is leading his campaign efforts with a dedicated team.
Lim stated that his campaign team, comprising 30 individuals, is working diligently over the two-week period to connect with as many voters as possible across the diverse ethnic makeup of the Stulang area. He noted the absence of visible support from Pas's campaign machinery, but emphasized that this has not deterred his team's efforts to reach out to voters and communicate their electoral offerings.
"Pas's machinery is not visible, not even one person has come to help, but it does not stop us from continuing to approach as many voters as possible here to inform them of our offers," Lim told Utusan Malaysia. He stressed their commitment to being a people's representative who will amplify the voices of the grassroots to the state and higher levels.
Drawing on his experience as a former council member, Lim Chin Eng believes he is well-equipped to engage with various segments of the community. His campaign focuses on informing voters about their platform and ensuring their concerns are represented, regardless of the level of support from coalition partners.
