马国前青体部长赛沙迪 来狮城上课3月薪资捐选区

马来西亚前青年及体育部长、现任麻坡国会议员赛沙迪，将来到新加坡国大李光耀公共政策学院，完成学业。 赛沙迪是在去年获得奖学金，在该学院修读公共政策课程。 他在个人脸书分享，他从去年9月就上网课，不过为了完成实体课，需要来狮城待一个月。 他也表示，在狮城进修一个月期间，本身并没资格领取议员薪水，于是把三月份薪水都捐给选区。 “我会在新加坡一个月，我不是去度假而是去读书。”他称要自我提升并更好地服务选区和马国。 去年，赛沙迪发起“一户一电脑”筹款活动，筹款达标也履行诺言剃光头答谢善心人士。 他也有意成立以青年为主的多元政党，取名马来西亚民主联合阵线，简称MUDA，也就是马来文“年轻”的意思。
