KLUANG, Sept 11 — Perikatan Nasional (PN) is fielding former Johor FA player Mohamad Haizan Jaafar, 61, as its candidate for the Mahkota state by-election on Sept 28.
This was announced by PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin at a ceremony in Kampung Melayu here last night.

Nomination is on Sept 14 and early voting on Sept 24.
