KUALA LUMPUR, April 28 — “Raja Bomoh” Datuk Ibrahim Mat Zin will not contest the Bagan Datuk parliamentary seat as an independent candidate.
Sinar Harian reported that Ibrahim announced his decision via his Facebook page ‘Raja Bomoh Politik’ in an 11-minute video uploaded shortly before 6pm yesterday.
In it he acknowledges giving way to the two largest parties, Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan, to stand in this general election.
“We will give them another five years to prove themselves. If there are no changes then PSSGGM will contest nationwide in the 15th general election.
“I apologise to Malaysians for being unable to contest this time. I hope and pray that victory will be given to the best side, for the future,” the Seni Silat Gayung Ghaib Malaysia Association (PSSGGM) president said.
Earlier on, Ibrahim and 26 other PSSGGM members said they would contend as independents nationwide in GE14.
He was supposed to have contested alongside his deputy Leman Kanaullah, 55, who will be running for the Pangkor state seat.
