SG BESAR POLLS A Selangor DAP assemblyperson today questioned whether BN's candidate in Sungai Besar Budiman Mohd Zohdi could actually fight for the rights of farmers and fishermen in the Dewan Rakyat.

Kampung Tunku assemblyperson Lau Weng San said Budiman was better remembered for debating about illegal karaoke centres, rather than agriculture issues in the state assembly.

"I'm not saying he doesn't bring them up but he's not leading the issue.

"Often he brings this up after Sekinchan assemblyperson Ng Suee Lim talks about it first," Lau said in a press conference in Sungai Besar today.

Budiman's campaign currently centres around local issues, and he has often promised to champion issues faced by farmers and fishermen if he is elected to Parliament.
