Leading up to the 2022 Mississauga elections, Modern Mississauga Media reached out to all incumbents and candidates via email with the same set of questions to help our community learn more about them leading up to the Monday, October 24, 2022 election.
For full information on how and when to vote, click here.

1. What ward are you running in and why are you running for Mississauga City Council?
I am running in Ward 7. Rising property taxes has been a great concern. Property Taxes are value-based. Home Values decreased by 3.9% in August. If the taxes don't decrease, it should be freeze.

2. What makes you stand out over other candidates?
I respect all the candidates. My International Experience and trainings give me an extra mark to apply productivity enhancement techniques to stop waste and utilize resources to create savings.

3. What are your top 3 campaign priorities?
Meeting constituents and listening to them is my first priority. Second is fund raising and third is arranging volunteers for different tasks. I've knocked 95% of the doors and would reach 100% soon.

4. If you could change one thing about Mississauga's zoning laws, what would it be?
ravel and Transport is expensive and is not environmentally friendly. I love buildings that has shops in the bottom, KG/daycare in the mezzanine, offices at 2nd and 3rd and condos on the top of them.

5. How do you plan to actively involve and include residents in decisions?
During door-knocking, I have listed 500+ citizens. From that list, I would select 15 to 20 people who would meet on bi-weekly basis. With their recommendations tracing on laws and by-laws we have we would be able to create Ward 7 what it deserves. What we have is a 3rd world projection.

6. What budget item is the most important to your ward?
No budget number gives detail how it is derived. Were sense-making techniques used? To me all the numbers should be revised based on the information I have about my ward. Citizens are unhappy.

7. What are three of your favourite aspects of Mississauga?
Preserving heritage buildings, preserving the conservation belt and balanced cultural activities are some aspects of Canada to be appreciated. We have some wildlife too, that has to be preserved as well. we have already disturbed them.

8. How will you be supporting our local businesses if elected?
That is the most interesting topic. My office is situated in Sussex Center which is half empty now and this is one of the best buildings in town. We need to keep small businesses in town. And small businesses must create attractions. Lakeshore is an example; everyone goes there to eat and enjoy.

9. What does Mississauga currently excel at?
Airport. But connectivity is a problem. I had hoped that LRT would connect to the airport instead Shopper's World. It would have turn on Derry and connect Malton then Airport.

10. How would you communicate with residents and what communication standards can voters expect?
I don't want to disclose everything here. With me they are communicating through email and phone, still the best. However, if I am elected you would see a transformed Mississauga. I have an eye on a 16 acres land where I would be inviting investors to put a world class theatre with a 5 star hotel.
