CAMERON POLLS | Pakatan Harapan candidate M Manogaran has apologised for his remarks regarding BN fielding an Orang Asli candidate for the Cameron Highlands by-election.
“I wish to unreservedly apologise to all concerned for the statement that I have made.
“I realise that my statement is wrong and I should not have made such a statement. My sincere apologies again to all and I regret my action,” he added in a statement this morning.
Yesterday, Manogaran told Malaysiakini that BN's strategy of fielding former Orang Asli top police officer Ramli Mohd Noor could backfire and the latter would not be able to garner Malay votes.
“BN's calculation is, they think… They really don’t understand. You see, the Malays don't even buy kuih from Orang Asli vendors. I don't think they will go all out and vote for an Orang Asli.
“The Malays will ask 'How come we don’t have a Malay candidate? How come you put an Orang Asli?' Chinese, Indians will not vote for the Orang Asli (as well),” he told Malaysiakini. - Mkini
