Why I am running

Canada has always been, and always will be, deeply rooted in me and I have a strong commitment and passion to serve my fellow Canadians to the best of my ability.  I want to become a Member of Parliament for Mississauga – Malton so that I can serve Canadians in a wider capacity beyond the major accomplishments I have already achieved.

I strongly believe in the principles and platform of the Conservative Party of Canada, and would be honoured to be a candidate for the Party.

I am confident in being an excellent candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada, as evidenced by many years of diverse experiences, qualities, and high profile services to my community. I demonstrate outstanding personal skills and qualities, such as:  integrity, authenticity, self-awareness, ethical behavior, willingness to listen, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, sound judgment, optimism, critical thinking, reliability and self-motivation.

I have been a resident of Mississauga since 1994 with my wife Kurshed. Together, we proudly have raised three highly accomplished daughters.

Throughout the years I have had pleasure to serve as Chair, Vice Chair and Board Member of various citizen appointed committees. This includes:

• Mississauga’s Election Campaign Finance Committee,
• Peel District School Board’s Compliance Audit Committee,
• Appeal Tribunal and Incidents in the City Facilities Appeal Committee,
• St. James Food Bank,
• John Howard Society of Peel-Halton – Dufferin,
• Diversity, Equity and Anti-Racism (DEAR) Committee for the Region of Peel.

I have extensive experience in complex decision-making roles, and have attained significant senior-level expertise in industries with complex multi-dimensional client service needs. Furthermore, as a former Canadian Citizenship Judge, I have a passion for helping Canadians, building communities, and bettering our society.

I am a true-blue Conservative and lifelong believer in conservative values such as:

• Family values.
• Respect for others.
• Responsible government.
• Common sense and responsible taxation.

I am against wasting taxpayer’s money.  I am for equal opportunity for all Canadians. I believe and agree with our leader Pierre Poilievre in “a country where the state is servant, not master, where smaller government makes room for bigger citizens and where people have the freedom to build a business without red tape and heavy tax.”

I am fluent in English, French and many South East Asian languages.

I have a solid understanding of our community’s needs and challenges. If nominated, I will fight to give Mississauga – Malton a voice in a Conservative government under Pierre Poilievre and I will work tirelessly for my constituents in Mississauga – Malton. After 8 disastrous years of Liberal government our community deserves a Member of Parliament who will truly represent the people of Mississauga-Malton in Ottawa.

Please join the Conservative Party of Canada and become the member of the Mississauga – Malton riding in order to vote for me in the upcoming nomination.

I would like your vote to be the Conservative Candidate for Mississauga-Malton.

Let’ bring it home together.
