KLUANG, July 8 — Perikatan Nasional (PN) candidate for the Paloh State Legislative Assembly (DUN), D Jeevakumar wants to ensure that residents in the area enjoy development and facilities comparable to urban areas if given a mandate in the Johor State Election (PRN) this time.
He said that among the main issues that need attention are job opportunities for the youth, besides drainage, road problems and wild animal nuisance which are often raised by residents.
“The main problem in the Paloh DUN is related to the youth, namely job opportunities. Followed by drainage problems, road problems and wild animal problems.
“If given the mandate to be the ADUN in the Paloh area, I will ensure that the Paloh community also receives the same attention as the community living in the city,” he told Astro AWANI.
Jeevakumar said the goal is to ensure that the residents of Paloh can enjoy facilities and a quality of life comparable to those in urban areas.
