"We are confident that it is a right criteria. We will identify the candidates," he said after attending a gathering with youths, Santai Mesra NGO Anak Muda Geng 18, here today.
Earlier, Selangor UMNO Liaison Committee chairman Tan Sri Noh Omar said he welcomed heavyweight candidates or those in the cabinet to contest for parliamentary seats in Selangor and named Finance Minister Tengku Zafrul Tengku Abdul Aziz as one of them.
