HULU SELANGOR: Better paying jobs, public transport and an energetic assemblyman who won’t disappear after the polls – these topped the list of what Kuala Kubu Baharu (KKB) voters want from the by-election. The concerns regarding local issues were acknowledged by one of the by-election’s candidates, Pang Sock Tao, who said KKB voters had come to her with concerns such as clogged drains and flash floods. “To me, these (local issues) are the focus of the by-election,” the Pakatan Harapan candidate said when met during a walkabout to meet voters in Pekan Kuala Kubu Baru recently. “Experience can be accumulated and they can be guided,” said the 30-year-old, who also praised the efforts of its previous state assemblyman Lee Kee Hiong, whose death in March led to the by-election. KKB has 40,226 registered voters consisting of 39,362 regular voters, 625 police personnel, 238 military personnel and spouses, and one absentee voter residing abroad.
