1. State development

Perak is strategically located between two most developed state, Penang and Selangor, as well as its rich biodiversity and history, but we are underdeveloped uneven development within the states. What's your aspirations for Perak development?

Following the launching of Westcoast Expressway, investors especially manufacturing industry players may move out from Ipoh due to logistics. As a DUN within Ipoh city, what are your aspirations on local economical development in short and long terms?

2. Food security

Covid 19 pandemic has unearthed the crisis. Small farmers in Perak could help to solve the issues. Will you fight for the justice for these small farmers sharing same fates as @savemusangking? Any other proposals to solve the issues?

3. Freehold landlease

@dapperak and @NgaKorMing promised freehold landlease for new villages, including #Buntong in 2018. However, the manifesto remains unfulfilled. Will you propose same manifesto again? How will you ensure its implementation?

4. DUN allocation

Perak DUN archives a new milestone for equal allocation to every DUNs. How will you spend the allocation? How will ensure the transparency of the fund?

5. Syariah law

The enactments of Syariah law is under respective state. As a DUN, what is your views on the Islamic legal system? Will you voice against provisions threatening gender equality, personal liberty as well as allowing child marriage?

6. Local elections

Most voters concern about livelihood and infrastructure. I believe you aware that DUNs shall not just handling the complaints. Instead, we should able to elect and monitor @mbi_citycouncil officials. Will you fight for local elections to empower democracy?

7. Public transportation

The public transportation couldn't fulfill the daily needs of #Buntong population. Asides the poor reliability, public buses are no longer travelling into Buntong wet market, making us not accessible to the service.

Also, we couldn't travel freely within the states by buses. It is unfortunate we couldn't travel to surrounding cities such as Taiping, Kampar, Lumut, Teluk Intan etc today. Missing the bus journeys with my grandparents from Medan Kidd to these cities when I was young.

Also, the current public transports could fulfil the needs of Perakians to travel across states. Though the Ipoh railway station is located near #Buntong, but the ETS tickers could easily sold out. Worse, people stranded at Amanjaya if they took buses.
