He has also identified three immediate concerns for Puchong voters - public safety, traffic woes and vernacular schools.
PETALING JAYA: Gerakan’s candidate for Puchong, A Kohilan Pillay remains confident of winning the parliamentary seat
“I am very confident of winning the Puchong seat. I have been a regular face in Puchong for the past four years.
“We’ll go all out to regain the seat,” said the 46-year-old Kohilan when contacted today.
Yesterday, Gerakan named Kohilan as its candidate to wrest Puchong from the incumbent, DAP’s Gobind Singh Deo.
He was born in Kampung Tun Razak, 13th Mile, Puchong and he is currently based in Selayang.
Kohilan is currently national vice president and Selangor chief of Gerakan. He is a senator who was made the deputy foreign affairs minister in Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s cabinet.
In the 2008 general election, Gobind won the seat with a 12,593 vote majority defeating Gerakan’s Lau Yeng Peng.
The Puchong parliamentary constituency has about 108,000 voters of which 43% are Chinese. The balance are made up 40% Malays, 16% Indians and 1% others.
There are two state seats under Puching – Umno’s Mohamad Satim Diman won the Seri Serdang state seat while Teresa Kok of the DAP won the Kinrara state seat in 2008.
When asked on his immediate concerns relating to Puchong, Kohilan listed out three issues – public safety, traffic woes and vernacular schools.
“I will discuss with the Home Ministry to increase police beats in Puchong,” he said.
There are currently two district police headquarters in Puchong.
On the traffic woes in the constituency, Kohilan did not elaborate but said that the problem would be easily resolved if the state and federal governments were made up of BN.
On vernacular schools, Kohilan said that Gerakan would upgrade SJK(C) Feng Chi and have already obtained three acres of land for the construction of a Tamil school in Puchong.
“We are working on getting the building,” he said but did not mention the location of the school.
