SERI KEMBANGAN: Pakatan Harapan candidate Wong Siew Ki is worried that voter turnout at the by-election on Sept 8 might see a drop.
She said this follows the non-chalant attitude taken by voters who feel that PH would still win the polls despite them not voting.
“This non-chalant attitude should change, even if they feel that PH would win the by-election.
“Each of their vote is meaningful in my fight for their rights,” she said after her campaign rounds with constituents at Lake Valley, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn, here, today.
In a related matter, Wong called upon property developers in the Balakong constituency to put in place more recreational facilities to cater for the needs of residents.
“Recreational areas are essential to create a harmonious and comfortable atmosphere.
“I find that there is a lack of recreational areas, as such developers must ensure that their housing projects incorporate recreational areas in the form of fields or parks for residents to undertake healthy activities with their family and friends.
The Balakong by-election, which is being held following the death of assemblyman Eddie Ng Tien Chee in a road accident on July 20, Wong faces MCA candidate Tan Chee Teong in a straight fight.
In the 14th general election, Ng defeated Barisan Nasional candidate Lim Chin Wah and Mohamad Ibrahim Ghazali of PAS with a majority of 35,538 votes.
