N11 Permatang Pasir - the battle begins..........

The Permatang Pasir by-election on Aug 25 will see a straight fight between Barisan Nasional’s Rohaizat Othman and Mohd Salleh Man of PAS. Returning officer Roslan Yahaya announced at 11.25am that the Election Commission (EC) had accepted the nomination papers of both candidates despite 15 objections being received. Rohaizat, 38, a legal adviser, submitted his papers at 9.03am while Mohd Salleh, 52, who is state PAS commissioner, sent his in at 9.06am.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, who earlier accompanied Rohaizat with many supporters to the nomination centre at the Youth Skills Development Institute (IKBN) here, said he was pleased with the smooth nomination process.

“The Barisan and the Opposition did not display any tense feelings (against each other) and I hope this situation will remain till the end of the campaigning period,” he told a press conference at IKBN here Monday.

Businessman Kamarul Ramizu Idris, 42, who failed to submit papers as an independent candidate on time, said he was delayed by the traffic congestion en route to the nomination centre. He arrived at the centre at 9.45am, spoke to reporters for 10 minutes and filed his papers at 9.55am. He claimed he asked for permission to go to the restroom and when he returned, everyone was leaving then. He then decided not to file his papers. Nominations, which opened at 9am, closed at 10am.

The Permatang Pasir seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent Datuk Mohd Hamdan Abdul Rahman of PAS of heart ailment on July 31.
