‘Ayah kalah 5 kali, saya mungkin perlu kerja 7 kali’, kata calon PH Kuala Linggi

Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for Kuala Linggi DUN, Muhammad Mukhlisul Mubin Julasapiyah, revealed his desire to work harder than his five times losing father to win the hearts of voters during a media briefing. The young politician drew inspiration from his father Julasapiyah Kassim, who despite failing to win the constituency multiple times, never stopped serving the community of Kuala Linggi.

Mukhlis commented, "If my father fought five times and lost each time, maybe I need to work six or seven times to win the hearts of voters in the Kuala Linggi DUN." The young politician, known as Mukhlis, expressed his intention to bring a new and fresh political approach to the constituency, aiming to restore confidence in the role of politicians in improving the community's quality of life.

However, he clarified that his focus is not only on the youth but also includes the issues of the fishing community and recurrent flooding in several areas of the constituency. When addressing social media criticism, including accusations about his academic qualifications, Mukhlis stated that he does not consider such comments as undermining his qualifications, as the risk of entering the political field comes with its own set of challenges.

"I cannot say that criticism is undermining because it is the risk we take when entering the political arena," he said. Mukhlis also denied allegations of failing to complete his Bachelor of Law degree at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), stating that his supervisor has finalized his papers and he is scheduled to attend the graduation ceremony on November 22, eight days after the PRN Melaka election results are announced.

As the youngest candidate in the PRN, Mukhlis made his debut performance in the upcoming election, facing three opponents from the Barisan Nasional, including Rosli Abdullah and Farhana Hamzah from Parti Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu).
