Utusan Malaysia reported that Abdul Halim Suleiman was appointed as a member of the Dewan Negara (Senate) for a three-year term, unanimously agreed by Johor state assemblymen on the proposal of Menteri Besar Onn Hafiz Ghazi.
“Datuk Abdul Halim Suleiman dilantik sebagai Ahli Dewan Negara.”
Free Malaysia Today reported that Johor BN secretary Abdul Halim Suleiman rejected DAP's Ramkarpal Singh's accusation that BN had backstabbed Pakatan Harapan by declaring it would contest all 56 Johor state assembly seats, saying it was not treachery but a democratic act of defending seats BN had won.
“How is it treachery when BN merely wants to defend their seats? We did not betray anyone. It is not treacherous to contest for seats in a democracy”
Free Malaysia Today reported that Johor Umno secretary Abdul Halim Suleiman stated that Pakatan Harapan assemblymen in Johor were treated fairly by the Barisan Nasional-led state government, even though no PH representatives were appointed as village chiefs, councillors, or to government-linked companies, because PH assemblymen still received allocations from the state government.
“"Halim said that even though no one from PH was appointed as a village chief, councillor or to a GLC, its assemblymen were treated fairly. 'PH assemblymen receive allocations from the (BN-led) state government, yet no one mentions this,' he said. 'Why focus only on being appointed as village chiefs or councillors?'"”
