He said the branch is ready to provide a new leadership opportunity to the people of Serian.

“Serian indeed needs a fresh and hardworking leader who will always place the needs of the people as the top priority,” he said.

However, he said DAP Serian branch welcomes incumbent Richard Riot Jaem’s decision to defend the seat, but the DAP Serian is ready to challenge the candidacy.

“DAP Serian will always put the people’s agenda first and will fight for the many, not the few,” Brolin said when commenting  Riot’s statement that there was a possibility of him defending the Serian parliamentary seat in the coming general election.

Brolin said Riot has valid basis to defend his parliamentary seat as there is no age limit for a person to contest in a general election, and it is the right of every Malaysian citizen to do so.

However, it is ultimately up to the people of Serian to choose whoever they want to represent their voices as their leader,” he said.

According to media reports, Riot, 75, had said he was ready to defend the seat that he had first won in 1990 as an independent candidate, if given a chance.
