[UPDATED] DAP picks Young Syefura for Bentong parliamentary seat

KUALA LUMPUR – DAP has announced its parliamentary candidates for seats in Pahang for the upcoming general election (GE15).

Party secretary-general Anthony Loke made the announcement at DAP headquarters here today regarding four federal seats, out of Pahang’s total 14. 

The candidates are:

Tengku Zulpuri Shah Raja Puji – Lipis

Chiong Yoke Kong – Cameron Highlands

Chow Yew Wei – Raub

Young Syefura Othman – Bentong

With this, Young Syefura is expected to take on former MCA president Tan Sri Liow Tiong Lai, the former Bentong MP before he lost the seat to DAP in 2018.

“This is a move to break racial politics. Young Syefura will be the first female Malay MP (for Bentong) if she is elected as the MP.

“I have full confidence in her as she has a good track record as the Ketari assemblyman,” Loke told a press conference at DAP headquarters here today. – The Vibes, October 26, 2022
