I’m okay and ready to serve, says Daud

Tupong assemblyman Datuk Daud Abdul Rahman yesterday described speculation that he will not be re-nominated in the coming polls as “the work of an opportunist.”
“Speculation that I will not contest in the coming state election because of my health is the work of an opportunist,” he said. He told reporters thisafter he received a courtesy visit from students and officers from Laila Taib Orphanage Complex, at his office.Daud said he was already feeling well and ready to serve the people.He also felt that the electorates in the area still needed his services

“I am already feeling okay. Do I look not okay?” he asked, adding that we was leaving it to the chief minister and state Barisan Nasional (BN) chairman Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud whether to decide on his political future.
Daud, who has served as an elected representative
for 20 years, said he was aware that many younger people were yearning to become elected representatives.
According to him, Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB) will always look for quality leaders to lead and serve the people.
He noted that it was never easy to become an elected representative, particularly when the expectations and wisdom of the people had changed compared to 20 years back
