He emphasised that he would not make lofty promises, choosing a more practical, “family-oriented” approach.
“As a young candidate, I do not want to promise the voters the moon and stars. We want to maintain a more family-oriented approach,” he told reporters after a gathering for Mahkota’s Indian community.
Syed Hussien said his primary aim was to ensure all communities, regardless of race or religion, are heard and included.
He said he is committed to providing a platform for all communities to share their stories so that all voices will be represented.
The Mahkota by-election will be held on Sept 28, with early voting set for Sept 24.
The by-election will see a straight fight between Syed Hussien and Perikatan Nasional’s Haizan Jaafar.
