KAJANG - DAP Bangi candidate Syahredzan Johan said he is confident that the party will receive support from all races, not just the Chinese.
He said the support that DAP was getting from Chinese, Indians and Malays during their campaigns were motivating.
"I am confident that I can get the votes from other races, not only the Chinese. We can see that during our walkabout that the support is motivating.
"I lost my voice, lack of sleep and all that but when I meet the people, it gives me strength to continue to complete the campaign period and InsyaAllah, we will able to retain the seat for Pakatan Harapan (PH),” he told reporters at a walkabout programme together with DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke, here, today.
He added that he was honored to continue the unity of PH in Bangi as he received support not only from DAP but other component parties as well.
"I am very honored to continue the unity of PH in Bangi although Dr Ong (Ong Kian Ming) is not contesting here, but we will be providing services from the same team,” he said.
Syahredzan added that they will continue the good things that they have done and will further improve on the areas that they were lacking in.
He said despite having to face an eight-cornered fight in Bangi, he did not look down on the potential of other candidates including the Independent candidates as they all have their own capabilities.
"However, we believe that the people in Bangi know that we are sincere in giving our services and the people will judge who is the best for them,” he said.
He said the people in Bangi needed young candidates who can bring new ideas and enthusiasm.
"I believe that I can offer that and I think that I will be able to approach the young people which we have done in our engagements,” he added.
