PORT DICKSON, Oct 5 (Bernama) -- Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate Tan Sri Mohd Isa Abdul Samad said he had not been promised any position in the state government if he were to win the Bagan Pinang state by-election on Oct 11.
He said position was not important to him as he wanted to serve the people in the constituency.
"I was not promised any position in the state government. I was only asked by the top leadership to be the BN candidate, and should I win, I will continue to serve as the elected representative for the people in my own village," he told reporters here, on Monday.
He disclosed this when asked to comment on the media report whether he would be made a State Executive Councillor should he win the Bagan Pinang by-election.
Earlier, he and Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan had attended a Hari Raya gathering organised by the Malaysian Armed Forces Civilian Employees Union (Kesatria) and the Negeri Sembilan Defence Ministry Staff Club (Kakep NS), here.
Mohd Isa said this was the first time that he had intended to serve the people in the Bagan Pinang constituency, which was his home town.
"My intention is to continue serve the people in Bagan Pinang as their elected representative.
"I'm contesting merely to win the Bagan Pinang state seat, that's all...I wasn't promised anything," he said.
Meanwhile, when asked whether he would reshuffle the State Executive Council, Mohamad said the matter did not arise because the priority now was to ensure that the BN won in Bagan Pinang.
"I will give full concentration to ensure victory for the BN in Bagan Pinang, and the matter (reshuffle of the Executive Council) will be considered later," the Menteri Besar added.
