PKR candidate apologizes for inaccurate statement in Johor

Arthur Chiong Sen Sern, the PKR candidate for the Bukit Batu state seat, has apologized to the Johor state government for an inaccurate statement he made during his announcement as a candidate. Sen Sern, who is also the incumbent for the seat, admitted that his claim of "no allocation from the State Government for this year" was incorrect after further verification.

He issued a statement expressing his sincere apologies to all parties for the confusion his remark caused. Sen Sern also retracted the statement, acknowledging the mistake was unintentional. He conveyed his regret over the matter and appreciated the feedback he received from various quarters regarding his inaccurate statement.

The candidate stated his intention to correct the error and withdraw the specific remark made during the Bukit Batu election machinery launch event concerning the state government's allocations for the current year. Earlier, Pakatan Harapan (PH) Secretary-General Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail had announced Sen Sern as their candidate to defend the Bukit Batu seat in the upcoming Johor state election.
