Reezal praises Umno Youth and Puteri's support in Bertam

KEPALA BATAS – The Umno Youth and Puteri wings have pledged their full support to help ensure Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina wins the Bertam state seat cum Aug 12.

Reezal revealed that it has been such a privilege for the two wings to support him and has inadvertently strengthen his campaign trail.

"Alhamdulillah, today is the eighth day of the campaign period. The Umno Puteri and Youth machinery have been quite active in helping me here.

"One of the things that you can see tonight is the motorcycle convoy. There are many youths involved," he told Sinar Daily in an exclusive sit down.

Reezal, who is an Umno Supreme Council member, further expressed his gratitude seeing a continuous increase of youth presence daily during his programmes.

"This is a positive sign for me. I hope this attribution from the youth will continue until the end of the campaign period," he said.

Reezal is up against incumbent Khalib Mehtab Mohd Ishaq from the Perikatan Nasional (PN).

The former Youth and Sports Minister said was called to contest in the Bertam state seat after receiving 881 majority votes from the constituency during the 15th General Election despite losing the Parliamentary seat.
