00:00If we look at it, we are with Barisan National only in 2023.
00:05We won with a majority of 10,900 more.
00:11But if we look at 7 months after the Pilihan Raya Parlimen,
00:18if we don't win, we won almost 10,000 more.
00:24We don't have support from Barisan National.
00:27We don't have support from Barisan National or PAS.
00:31At that time, it was 3.5.
00:32But we won with 10,000.
00:34And I'm confident that I can support the two nilai for the Pilihan Raya Parlimen.
00:41DAP's J. Arul Kumar is confident that the Pilihan Raya Parlimen
00:44can retain the nilai state seat in the August 1,
00:48Negeri Sembilan election without Barisan National support.
00:52The incumbent Assemblyman pointed to PH's performance in the 2022
00:57general election when it won nearly 10,000 votes from polling districts within Nilai.
01:03Arul said PH only worked with BN during the 2023 state election
01:08when he retained Nilai with a majority of more than 10,900 votes.
01:14This time, PH is contesting all 36 state seats alone,
01:18while BN is cooperating with the PAS-led Perikatan National.
01:23The changes have resulted in a five-cornered contest in Nilai,
01:28with Arul facing BN's Lai Chien Kong,
01:31Bersatus V. Saravan Kumar,
01:33Berjasa's Zamani Ibrahim,
01:35and independent candidate Omar Issa.
01:39Arul acknowledged that the contest would be tighter,
01:42with race-based narratives posing the biggest challenge to his campaign.
01:47However, he said Nilai voters should judge PH based on its record in government,
01:53including infrastructure upgrades and flood mitigation projects in the constituency.
01:58Pan Yuzhou, FMT.
