No bad blood between me and Norhizam, says DAP’s Jason Tze-Xi Nathan

Pakatan Harapan candidate Jason Tze-Xi Nathan has stated that he does not harbor any ill will towards his former DAP colleague Norhizam Hassan Baktee, who is also running for the Pengkalan Batu state seat in Melaka during the upcoming Nov 14 election. The two, who once collaborated in DAP, have continued to maintain a respectful relationship.

Nathan visited Norhizam's home during Hari Raya Aidilfitri and met him on multiple occasions. The DAP Youth national committee member affirmed that their relationship remains cordial, despite their different political affiliations. In line with democratic principles, he emphasized that any eligible individual has the right to contest in the election, and it is up to the voters to evaluate each candidate's offerings and make a decision.

Nathan, who intends to campaign for the approximately 26,000 residents in the constituency, vowed not to engage in personal attacks or challenge his opponents' backgrounds. Instead, he is concentrating on presenting his qualifications and showcasing the benefits he can provide to the voters. The other two contenders in the Pengkalan Batu race are Siti Aisyah Mahmood from Barisan Nasional and Goh Han Koon from Bersama.

The electoral process in Melaka is scheduled to commence on Nov 10, with early voting being held on Nov 10.
