Pang said besides that, she will also give priority to the issue of people’s well-being to ensure no one is left behind.
“I express my gratitude to the party leadership for choosing me as the candidate. This is my manifesto if elected as a representative of the people.
“This manifesto is the result of feedback I received from KKB residents I met after campaigning for almost a week and also the result of research conducted by me and the campaign team,” she said.
DAP secretary-general Anthony Loke, DAP national deputy chairman Gobind Singh Deo, Amanah president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu and Selangor PH chairman Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari were among the PH leaders who attended the event.
The by-election is a four-cornered fight involving Pang, Khairul Azhari Saut (Perikatan Nasional), Hafizah Zainuddin (Parti Rakyat Malaysia) and Nyau Ke Xin (Independent).
The seat fell vacant following the death of incumbent Lee Kee Hiong, 58, of DAP on March 21 due to cancer.
