BN Panti candidate leaves career for politics, outlines five pledges

Dr. Naqib Ghazali, a Barisan Nasional candidate for the Panti state seat in Johor, is stepping away from his professional career to pursue politics. He aims to bring change and champion the needs of the local community, drawing on his experience in administration and crisis management.

Naqib, who attended local schools and witnessed the area's development, stresses the value of a local representative. "A local candidate knows the heart issues and desires of the local community," he stated. He pointed to the transformation of his former school and the establishment of a fire station as examples of progress, underscoring his understanding of the area's evolving needs.

Reflecting on his involvement in managing the Covid-19 crisis, Naqib highlighted the importance of considering public input in decision-making. He cited former Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin's decisive leadership style as an inspiration, noting his own commitment to swift action if elected.

If given a mandate, Naqib's five-point manifesto focuses on enhancing public services. Key priorities include creating a more accessible complaint platform for residents, expanding broadband coverage, improving infrastructure like roads and public facilities, developing the region's tourism potential, and finding solutions for the housing needs of second and third-generation Felda settlers.

If he said, ‘I want this matter resolved tomorrow,’ then that is the action that needs to be taken if I become a people's representative.
