Why this matters to you

As ADUN for Tendong — a constituency bisected by Sungai Kelantan and regularly affected by annual flooding — Rozi Muhamad directly influences decisions on flood preparedness, development allocations, and land compensation for residents in the Pasir Mas district. His DUN questions on flood mitigation land acquisition (PLSB Sungai Golok) bear directly on whether affected landowners in Tendong receive fair and timely compensation for land taken for flood defence works. Residents of Tendong should be aware that the area's health clinic was among the first closed during the November 2024 floods, underscoring the constituency's vulnerability to seasonal flooding and the importance of the assemblyman's advocacy on infrastructure matters.
