It appears that Shahrizat Abdul Jalil and Ahmad Zahid Hamidi have contradicting views on BN's campaign tactics for the Teluk Intan by-election.
While the Wanita BN chief claimed that BN does not exploit racial politics, the home minister, however, described the Chinese who vote for DAP as ingrates.
"We don't play dirty politics whereby we go to the Malays and say this, go to the Indians and say that; and tell the Chinese something else.
"What kind of politics is this? I don't agree with this kind of politics," Shahrizat was quoted as saying by Umno Online today.
On the other hand, Zahid, when speaking at a Malay village in Teluk Intan this evening, said that the Chinese earned their wealth with the help of Malays and Indians.
"So the Malays and Indians support the Chinese traders... They become successful and vote for DAP. They are ingrates, right?" he had asked the villagers of Kampung Durian Sebatang.
However, Sharizat, who is also Wanita Umno chief, claimed that BN is more interested in running a sincere campaign, which focuses on helping the people.
"The Wanita machinery is going well and our campaign is sincere. What we say, we do. And we don't play politics of race or other sort of (dirty) tactics. We are not interested," she added.
Stating that racial politics would not go far, Shahrizat said the Wanita wings are sincere in wanting to help the people and see this nation remain stable.
Meanwhile, the Wanita Umno chief also reminded all quarters not to point fingers at Umno whenever an issue crops up during the by-election campaign.
"Don't point fingers and blame Umno. We have to remember, sometimes the enemy within is greater than the enemy outside," he added.
