Johor DAP chairperson Teo Nie Ching revealed that the party had planned to move Skudai assemblyperson Marina Ibrahim to another urban state seat in the upcoming Johor election - with a chairpersonship at a statutory body prepared as a backup plan.

In a statement, Teo alluded to ongoing seat negotiations within Johor Harapan, and expressed regret over Marina’s decision announced this morning to retire from active politics.
