Parti Amanah Negara has nominated physics professor Ahmad
Termizi Ramli as its by-election candidate in Kuala Kangsar where Umno and PAS are also likely contesting in an unavoidable 3 corner fight.
Amanah president Mohamed Sabu confidently announced Termizi's candidacy
in the presence of Pakatan Harapan leaders in Kuala Kangsar last night.
In accepting his nomination, Termizi described his candidacy
as a heavy responsibility particularly as the by-election comes amid the 1MDB
scandal.
"It is a turning point for the country... it is whether
we choose to create history to save the country or condemn it," he said,
lamenting that the country's international reputation is in shambles.
Mohamad later urged support for Termizi in the upcoming
by-election.
Among the leaders present were PKR president Dr Wan Azizah
Wan Ismail, DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng and Harapan general secretary
Saifuddin Abdullah.
Termizi, 61, hails from Kampung Suak Petai in Manong, Kuala
Kangsar.
He was a physics professor at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia
before retirement.
Termizi obtained his degree in physics from University of
Leeds, UK in 1975 and subsequently a masters in Radiological Health and Safety
from the University of Salford, UK in 1980.
He also obtained his doctorate in medical physics as well as
a diploma in ionisation physics from the University of Swansea, UK.
Termizi is the Kuala Kangsar Amanah deputy chief as well as
a member of the Perak Amanah political bureau and a member of the Amanah
national committee.
He was also the central committee member of Ikram and its
political bureau secretary.
The physics professor is set to take on BN's Mastura Mohd
Yazid, who is the widow of the late incumbent Kuala Kangsar MP, and PAS'
Najihatussalehah Ahmad, who is a medical doctor.
Nomination day is set for June 5 while polling day will take
place on June 18.
