'I'm here to serve': Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim seeks voters' support in Perak after GE15 nomination

IPOH, Perak: The leader of Malaysia's Pakatan Harapan coalition Anwar Ibrahim responded on Saturday to a claim that he is an outsider being parachuted into Perak for the upcoming general election.

Three other contenders from different coalitions have also thrown their hats in the ring for the Tambun seat – the incumbent Ahmad Faizal Azumu from Perikatan Harapan, Aminuddin Hanafiah from Barisan Nasional and Abdul Rahim from Pejuang. As the prime ministerial candidate for Pakatan Harapan, he said he could attract more support from voters in Perak."I am here to lead the Pakatan Harapan campaign and we are here to offer an alternative because of the failure of the present policies - particularly the economic policies - and of course, the social tension within communities. So, I think, I believe - God willing, inshallah - that may give an added advantage to us.

Over in Gombak, Selangor, PH's candidate Amirudin Shari said that he hoped to defend the coalition's mandate previously given by the people.
