Manoharan drawing up Kota Alam Shah agenda from Kamunting
KLANG: M. Manoharan, the newly-elected state assemblyman for Kota Alam Shah, is prepared to work for his constituency despite being detained under the Internal Security Act at the Kamunting detention camp.
S. Pushpaneela, who visited her husband at the camp Sunday morning, said that her husband was extremely happy after finding out he had won from the midnight news on TV.
“He is ready and waiting to serve and has started to draw up the agenda for Kota Alam Shah in the camp,” she said when contacted.
Pushpaneela added that their four children were very excited and had been waiting to meet their father to congratulate him personally.
Manoharan, the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) legal adviser who is currently detained under the ISA, won the Kota Alam Shah state seat by a 7,184-vote majority over incumbent Ching Su Chen of Barisan Nasional on Saturday.
Pushpaneela on Sunday brought back a statement written by Manoharan for his constituents and voters.
Manoharan said the 12th general election had produced outstanding results and many surprises and the confidence placed on the DAP by the voters was translated into victory.
“I take this opportunity to thank each and every voter who voted for me.
“I also take this opportunity to congratulate my wife, family members, all the DAP stalwarts and party workers who worked tirelessly to ensure my victory,” he said.
“I assure the constituents and voters that I will honour all my pre-election promises and shall ensure that the voices of the constituents are heard at the state assembly,” he said.
Manoharan added that the election results clearly indicated a paradigm shift asking for a change in the administration.
He said the change was necessary and healthy and would certainly make the administration more accountable and would bring the administration closer to the people.
