Changkat Jering state seat Independent candidate Zulkifli Ibrahim is contesting against former Perak Menteri Besar Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin of PAS there because it is his birthday today.  

“I am contesting today as it’s my birthday,” said the 60 year-old Independent.

NONE Changkat Jering will see a three-way fight between Nizar, Zulkifli and BN's Rosli Husin.

Zulkifli, who hails from Kedah, had moved to Changkat Jering 30 years ago. He hopes to unite the people in the area.

“PAS is good, Umno is good. I do not support the left or the right. Umno can gather Chinese, Malays, Indians and similarly with PAS.  

“I want to unite all,” he said in responding to queries from reporters in Taiping, Perak, adding that this is his first attempt in contesting in the general election.

Zulkifli is a trainee tilawah Quran reciter and also an independent religious teacher.

Both Nizar and Rosli do not see Zulkifli’s participation as a threat to their contest.
