Despite his father, Julasapiyah Kassim, losing the seat to Umno five times, Mukhlisul's father never stopped serving the constituents. This unwavering commitment to the community has left a lasting impression on the young candidate.\n\nIn an interview during a press conference, Mukhlisul, whose nickname is Mukhlis, revealed that he plans to bring a new perspective to Kuala Linggi. Apart from boosting the confidence of young people in politicians and their roles in improving the quality of life, he aims to address pressing issues such as floods and problems faced by the local fishing community.\n\nMukhlisul addressed rumors of bullying, dismissing them as part of the political landscape. He acknowledged that criticisms and pressure are inevitable when entering the world of politics, emphasizing that he has prepared himself for such challenges. He also denied allegations that he failed to complete his law degree at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, stating that he will attend his graduation ceremony on November 22.",
