KUALA KUBU BAHRU, April 25 – DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke tonight announced Pang Sock Tao as the Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the upcoming Kuala Kubu Baru by-election. Loke emphasized Pang’s qualifications, highlighting her experience, knowledge in politics, and her status as a woman—a crucial factor in maintaining gender diversity in leadership roles. At 31 years old, Pang brings a youthful energy and a dedication to service, having previously served as a news presenter for DAP’s UbahTV and as the press secretary to Local Government Minister Nga Kor Ming.
The announcement of Pang’s candidacy comes following the vacancy of the Kuala Kubu Baru seat due to the passing of its three-term assemblyman, Lee Kee Hiong, on March 21. With the Election Commission setting April 27 for nominations and May 11 for polling, Pang’s selection reflects PH’s commitment to continue Lee’s legacy of dedicated representation and service to the constituents of Kuala Kubu Baru. As the campaign unfolds, Pang stands ready to champion the interests of the people, promising to uphold the values of integrity, inclusivity, and progress set forth by her predecessor.
