TAWAU: Elected candidates must be able to connect with the rakyat and empathise with their plight, say some market traders here.

These traders - such as an egg seller at the Pasar Tanjung Tawau here - said that representatives must also be able to bring new ideas and improve the livelihood of the rakyat.

She also said that she hoped elected candidates would also go to the ground and listen to the concerns of the people, especially those of market traders.“My livelihood relies on selling eggs. Nowadays, it’s very hard to get supplies and our cost of operations is also increasing. I can only make a 20 sen profit after deducting packaging and overhead costs,” she said.

He said before the supply issues, he used to receive more than 20 orders from suppliers but now only receives about 15.Freddy also said that elected representatives must hear the plight of the rakyat at all times and be responsible for their care. A 55-year-old dried herb seller known as Lee said she hoped that the city council can lower the rent as she has to pay a rental of around RM60 per month excluding parking fees.

Of course when you're in power those pledges can be done. If you're not, how can those promises be carried out? It's just just common sense. Why not let the others be in power for a term, then we see how.
