He stresses that road repair works should be carried out by the governing council and not an MP. However, he was disappointed that though he has brought up the issue multiple times at the Dewan Rakyat, there is still no fund allocation given for the repair of damaged roads.
He added that he understands that the lack of allocation could be due to the state government’s lack of funds as they too did not receive enough allocation from the federal government.

Hence, he decided to take it upon himself to act with funds and machinery he personally purchased. Azis also did not forget to show his appreciation to the volunteers and donors who pitched in to help.
Azis also stresses that his actions were not a bid to gain sympathy or votes from the people despite the upcoming General Elections.

There isnât a time in memory that doesnât involve staring at cars. After discovering the excitement of watching Schumacher vs Hakkinen, Formula 1 became a major part of life. The love for cars and F1 ultimately led to a job with CAR Magazine. The untimely death of the magazine meant a hiatus from cars at lifestyle womenâs magazine Marie Claire before another opportunity came knocking again.
