BUKIT MERTAJAM, Aug 20 (Bernama) -- The Chinese community in the Permatang Pasir state constituency want a assemblyman who is more caring and can resolve their problems which they have faced for the last three terms.
According to them for that period they faced many problems which were not addressed properly by Pas.
Observations at Kampung Cross Street, which has a Chinese-majority make-up, found that many residents complained of infrastructre not being maintained well and causing them problems, like potholes, clogged drains and flooding.
A male resident, Lim Jun, 24, alleged that residents had to solve their problems themselves and they were lucky there were Barisan Nasional (BN) leaders who were willing to help even if they were not representatives there.
"We fill in potholes and clean out drains ourselves to prevent flooding.
"Many of the Chinese here are vegetable farmers and flooding destroys our produce and our livelihood is affected," he said.
Another resident hoped the new assemblyman can channel more allocations for vegetable growers there.
The Aug 25 by-election will see a straight fight between the Permatang Pauh umno division secretary, Rohaizat Othman, 38, and Penang Pas commissioner, Mohd Salleh Man, 52.
The by-election is being held following the death of Datuk Mohd Hamdan Abdul Rahman of Pas on July 31 due to a heart attack.
