Syed Saddiq emphasized that this lack of government funding did not deter him from continuously seeking various means to ensure the welfare and needs of his constituents were met. "Alhamdulillah, in the period of one to one and a half years, various types of aid worth over RM6.2 million have been channeled to the Muar community," he said.

He also addressed claims of losing his political influence due to his involvement in the entertainment industry. Syed Saddiq asserted that he has remained diligent in fulfilling his responsibilities, pointing to his 100 percent attendance record in both the Dewan Rakyat (House of Representatives) and committee meetings, as well as during constitutional amendment processes. "I do not want to be negligent. However, in carrying out my responsibilities, I need to think outside the box and will continue to use such an approach to defend my people," he stated.

Reflecting on his six years in politics, Syed Saddiq mentioned making difficult decisions, including stepping down as President of the Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) after the High Court delivered a verdict against him. He explained that his resignation was based on the principle that individuals aspiring to contribute to nation-building must possess unquestionable integrity. "I believe if we want to build the country, we need to be whiter than white. That is why I took a step back to prove my innocence in court and clear my name. Now, Alhamdulillah, I have proven it," he said.
