CAMERON POLLS | BN’s Cameron Highlands candidate Ramli Mohd Nor has explained why he declined electoral reform group Bersih’s offer to participate in a live debate among candidates.
“What is there to debate? They threatened my people to take away their salary.
“Why should I debate?” he told the media when asked about the matter after a ceramah held in his village of Kampung Mensun, Pos Mensun.
Yesterday, PKR senator Bob Manolan Mohd had warned Orang Asli tok batin (village chiefs) that their salaries and jobs would be cut if they did not back Pakatan Harapan.
Asked why he had not signed Bersih’s pledge to conduct a clean election campaign, Ramli believed that he did not need to.
“You tell me, my opposition – Pakatan Harapan – are they clean?
“Myself, I can assure you, I will be clean,” he said.
The other three candidates for the by-election, Harapan’s M Manogaran as well as independents Sallehudin Ab Talib and Wong Seng Yee, have all signed the pledge and agreed to a live debate.
