PETALING JAYA: Parti Bangsa Malaysia (PBM), which is making its first electoral appearance, today appealed to the people of Johor to give them a chance in the four seats they are contesting.
In making the plea, its secretary-general Nor Hizwan Ahmad said PBM was aware of the huge challenges they faced in the state election.
"We are up against the giant machinery of veteran political parties and their limitless financial capabilities.
"However, we believe the people's voting power will be instrumental in helping to kickstart new changes to the nation's political landscape," he said in a statement today.
PBM yesterday announced four candidates who will be contesting the Puteri Wangsa, Stulang, Tiram and Maharani state seats respectively.
Among their candidates is Tebrau Member of Parliament, Steven Choong who will be going for the Puteri Wangsa seat.
Choong won Tebrau under a PKR ticket in the 2018 general election but quit the party last year to support the BN-Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
The incumbent in Puteri Wangsa is Bersatu who won the seat while it was part of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition. It left PH in 2020.
"This dynamic and bold move confirms PBM's commitment in bringing the mission of The Great Reset 2030 to the mainstream of national politics," said Nor Hizwan.
He added that PBM is looking to bring a fresh agenda for the country to rise from the sluggish relations between race, economy, science, technology and education that the country is experiencing at this time.
