  "account": "Former Pengkalan Batu MP Norhizam Hassan Baktee has stated that the people of Melaka desire a representative who is close to them and always ready to descend from their vehicle to resolve issues regardless of the time. Norhizam, known as 'YB Hulk,' said he agrees with any decision made by Bersatu leadership regarding the PRN Melaka seat, including if he is not nominated to contest for Pengkalan Batu. The deputy president of Bersatu Hang Tuah Jaya expressed his readiness to contest for any DUN seat if handed over to him. He emphasized that if the election gods do not favor him in Pengkalan Batu, he will not be bothered if someone more suitable is chosen instead. Norhizam reiterated that what matters most is the scrutiny of his track record as a representative, given his prior experience as a constituency representative and exco of Melaka. He further stated that the people of Melaka desire a representative who is close to them and always descends from their vehicle to address problems at any time and season. He noted that they strive to resolve issues that others cannot, such as road closures, ensuring residents feel safe and secure from traffic hazards, fisheries operations, and farmer concerns, referring to various issues he previously addressed as MP and exco of Melaka holding portfolios in Agriculture, Entrepreneurship, and Basic Agricultural Industries. Norhizam re-entered the DUN from Pengkalan Batu in PRU14 before losing his PRN Melaka seat five years ago. He contested under the Free ticket after being expelled from DAP. Prior to that, Bersatu Melaka Chief Reporter Hishamuddin Abdul Karim had envisioned that Pengkalan Batu DUN might not be part of the list of seats Bersatu would contest in the upcoming PRN. Hishamuddin expressed his desire to contest again for PRN Melaka and still wishes to serve the Pengkalan Batu constituency, claiming that its residents need his services.",
