Norhizam unfazed by 'pig-shooting assemblyman' label

Melaka's Norhizam Hassan Baktee remains unfazed by the labels "YB Beliau" and "pig-shooting assemblyman" he received during his previous assemblyman term. At 60, the Bersatu candidate is preparing to return to public service, emphasizing his commitment to addressing residents' concerns. Norhizam, who served from 2018, aimed to serve the community to the best of his ability, expressing surprise at the notion of an assemblyman shooting wild boars, which he perceived as one such nickname.

Despite turning 60, he remains dedicated to tackling issues like flash floods, road conditions, education, and supporting small entrepreneurs. Norhizam's previous experience and connections with constituents are expected to help him connect with voters, and he pledged to prioritize the well-being of residents while pushing for fair opportunities for small contractors.
