Why this matters to you

As the MP for Pekan (P085), Sh Mohmed Puzi is the primary federal representative for approximately 119,443 registered voters across four state seats in the district, making him the key conduit for federal allocation requests and constituency-level infrastructure concerns (Source: bernama.com). His seat on the Special Select Committee on Security means he participates in Dewan Rakyat scrutiny of security-related legislation and policy, which can affect matters ranging from policing to national defence spending that touch Pekan residents' daily safety and livelihoods (Source: parlimen.gov.my). His role as Chairman of the University of Kuala Lumpur also positions him at the intersection of higher education governance and workforce development, which is relevant to students and graduates from Pahang seeking tertiary education and employment pathways (Source: en.wikipedia.org).

At the 15th General Election (GE15) in November 2022, BN selected him as its candidate for the Pekan parliamentary seat — previously held for decades by members of the Razak family — making him only the second MP from outside that family to contest Pekan since 1982 [4].

The Pekan constituency, which encompasses the four state seats of Peramu Jaya, Pulau Manis, Bebar, and Chini, has a registered voter base of 119,443 [5].
