CAMERON POLLS | His late father and PAS spiritual leader Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat was a staunch opponent of Umno. His son, Nik Abduh, however, believes that it is pointless to dwell on the past.
Campaigning for BN candidate Ramli Mohd Nor, he urged PAS members to emulate their president Abdul Hadi Awang and discard their grudges against Umno and BN.
“When Umno lost (the general election) and its leaders went to apologise to him (Hadi), he was the first one to make peace with Umno.
"Because we are facing a government that is worse than BN, we need to learn how to open our minds like how our leaders.
"We are not doing this because we want Putrajaya. But because we want a fresh situation in Malaysian politics. We want PAS and Umno to be successful, to unite in the name of religion and nation to retake Putrajaya which has been damaged by Pakatan Harapan," he told some 300 people at Dataran Felda Sungai Koyan 1 last night.
The PAS central committee member cited the viral video of Chief Justice Richard Malanjum, attorney-general Tommy Thomas and activist lawyer Siti Kassim dancing together during a dinner event as an example.
"Judges cannot dance in public as it goes against the etiquette of a position that is highly respected.
"Even Umno did not do such things. We can accept if Umno was replaced by a better government. But this government is much worse than Umno," he added.
The Cameron Highlands parliamentary by-election sees a four-cornered fight between Ramli, Harapan's M Manogaran, and independent candidates Salehuddin Abd Talib and Wong Seng Yee.
PAS had decided not to field any candidate for this by-election. - Mkini
