‘YB Hulk’ comeback to Pengkalan Batu in doubt as Bersatu eyes other seats
Melaka Bersatu information chief Hishamuddin Abdul Karim says the seat is not on the party’s list for the state polls.
Former Pengkalan Batu assemblyman Norhizam Hassan Baktee, now known as the "YB Hulk," plans to run in the upcoming Melaka elections. However, his efforts may be thwarted as Bersatu, the party he has been associated with, has not yet confirmed which seats they will contest. Melaka Bersatu information chief Hishamuddin Abdul Karim stated that the party has not finalized their decisions for the election, including candidates and seats.
Hishamuddin clarified that Norhizam's intention to contest again might be a personal choice, not necessarily representing Bersatu's stance. Norhizam, who previously served as the independent assemblyman for Pengkalan Batu in 2018, claimed that the residents of his constituency needed his services. Despite seeking the seat as an independent in 2021, Norhizam lost the contest to Kalsom Noordin by a narrow margin.
Hishamuddin advised party members to focus on the party's survival and victory rather than personal ambitions.
