The 89-year-old kain songket trader said she was campaigning in Chabang Tiga yesterday when she noticed a car with a man and a woman following her.
“I had just received 1,000 copies of my poster from the printing company in the morning and was distributing them when I noticed a car following me around.
Independent woman: Maimun busy sticking her election posters outside her home in Gong Gemia, Terengganu. “There was a man and a woman inside. I did not recognise them,” said the grandmother of seven who is the oldest candidate in this general election.
“I do not know them but they left after I finished talking to the people.
“Luckily they meant no harm,” said Maimun when met at her dilapidated rented kampung house in Gong Gemia where she was busy pasting posters on the walls.
Although late in kicking off her campaign as she only received her posters yesterday, Maimun found she had to re-order another 4,000 copies.
Using her trusty red bicycle, her first stop was Chabang Tiga where she greeted the people and told them to vote for her symbol – the keys.
Pressmen were amused to see that Maimun, who is fondly known as Tok Mun, had rebuilt the steps leading up to her house.
“I know you were all scared to climb up the other day. That’s why I paid RM300 to build a new one,” she said, causing one reporter’s face to redden.
Maimun quashed the notion that she was able to pay for her campaign expenditure because of her links to royalty.
She has so far spent RM10,000 to register as a candidate, in addition to another RM3,000 on election and campaign preparations.
“I’ve also just enlisted some help to build a pondok (to be her election operations room) in Chabang Tiga. It only cost me RM200,” she added.
Asked how she expects to fare against PAS vice-president Mohamad Sabu and Barisan Nasional incumbent Datuk Razali Ismail, she said: “I have my supporters too”.

wah...berkobar2 rs aku nk mengundi bila tgk ko nye blog ni...tp tak mungkin aku akn dpt bersama2 nk mengundi. meriah blog ni dgn lambang2 parti tu..malangnya aku pn xmungkin nk letak bendera2 itu dlm blog aku...kui3...tak pasal2 kene panggil balik...tak ke haru nnt. ape2 pun selamat mengundi..aku undi angin je lah kt cni...^_^
Hehe.. Dr Illi.. Sian tak dapat mengundi.. Takpelah.. Ko dalam perjuangan jugak kan.. Belajar dulu.. Peluang tu akan tiba dalam masa 4-5 tahun selepas ni.. (2012-2013) Hehe..
Bendera dan lambang tu tak yah letak pun takpe..utk ko lagi sgt2 BERBAHAYA..!!aku faham..!! heheh..
Aku berpegang pada konsep memilih calon BUKAN parti.. Supaya yang ada dalam parlimen semua ahlinya adalah orang2 yang hebat and boleh bagi idea2 yang bernas utk memangkin pembangunan rakyat dan negara.. Aku harap rakyat Malaysia kena berubah. Aku tak masuk jadi ahli mana2 parti politik... Aku masih bebas.. Yang benar kita kata benar.. Yang salah kita kata salah..!! Ha.. Ha.. Ha..! Antaranya: Aku masih belum mampu setuju bila ada org yang berlambangkan Islam tapi mencerca parti lwn dengan panggilan Orang utan, haiwan dan sebagainya (Berdasar pada Surah Al-A'raf 175-176).. Mungkin ada ramai yang mempunyai sifat spt itu dalam parti tersebut sehingga 'tok guru' mengkritik mereka.. tapi bukan SEMUA.. Kita kena keluar dari kepompong GENERALISM..
Dah tu kenapa letak lambang pembangkang?? Haha.. Cepu emas.. Kerana aku percaya.. dalam keadaan sekarang yang sangat berat sebelah kpd parti pemerintah ni, tumpuan kita adalah untuk berjuang ke arah better 'CHECK AND BALANCE' dalam parlimen. Dengan kata lain kita kena imbangkan kekuatan kerajaan dan pembangkang yg ada dalam parlimen. Kita nk ada orang yang boleh kata 'NO' dengan hujah yang mantap. Bukan sekadar 'NO' biasa kerana mereka pembangkang..
Hmm.. cam ahli politik la pulak..
Haha..
Assalamualaikum, kagum kan tgk makcik ni. Terkejut pun ada. Bila tgk dia nak perjuangkan isu alam sekitar lagi la rasa terharu. Mcm awak ckp, klu saya undi kat Parlimen Kuala Terengganu, pasti saya pilih makcik ni. =)
Heheheh.. Thanks Ana.. Kalau Nenek Maimun ni ade internet, mesti dia gembira... InsyaAllah kita tolong kempen utk dia skit2..
