Johor polls: Muhyiddin offers himself as state economic adviser

MERSING – Perikatan Nasional (PN) chairman Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has offered himself as the state government’s economic adviser if the coalition wins the Johor election on March 12.

The former prime minister and Johor menteri besar said he intends to help the state’s economy affected by the Covid-19 outbreak by creating more job opportunities and providing skills training.

“I will help Johor,” he said at the launching of the Johor election machinery for the Tenggaroh and Endau state constituencies here last night.

Meanwhile, the Bersatu president said all candidates selected to represent PN in the Johor election will have to take an oath to ensure they are free from corruption and abuse of power.

The programme, which took place at Felda Tenggaroh 3 here, was also attended by Johor PAS Liaison Commissioner Abdullah Husin, Gerakan president Datuk Dr Dominic Lau Hoe Chai and Mersing MP Datuk Abdul Latiff Ahmad. – Bernama, February 17, 2022
