GE15: PSM to contest in Rembau, Ayer Kuning

KUALA LUMPUR – Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) will be contesting in the Rembau parliamentary seat and Perak's Ayer Kuning state assembly constituency for the 15th general elections (GE15).

PSM deputy chairman S. Arulchelvan said the party had chosen these seats based on its presence in the areas, which has a high concentration of working-class communities.

During a press conference this evening, Arulchelvan said the party has also chosen to not contest in a seat that was previously held by Pakatan Harapan, despite PSM’s failure to reach an electoral pact with the opposition coalition.

“This is to show that we are not vindictive against Pakatan Harapan even though we could not cooperate with them,” he said. 

Arulchelvan also said PSM chairman Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj will not be standing in the Sg Siput parliamentary seat for the first time since 1999. – The Vibes, November 2, 2022
