Why this matters to you

As the MP for Hulu Selangor, Hasnizan Harun is the primary federal representative for residents across the large Hulu Selangor district, including Batang Kali, Bukit Beruntung, Serendah, and Rasa. His sustained advocacy for a new public hospital directly affects residents' access to healthcare, given that the only government hospital in the constituency is located in Kuala Kubu Baru (Source: thestar.com.my). His public disclosure that opposition MPs received no federal development allocation as of mid-2023 signals a constrained capacity to fund local infrastructure and welfare assistance for constituents during the current parliamentary term (Source: sinardaily.my).
