Don't politicise 'Allah' issue, PM warns
8.40am: Seremban, Negeri Sembilan - Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has reiterated his firm stand for all parties not to politicise the issue relating to the use of the word ‘Allah’.
He says the Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah, as the chairperson of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs Malaysia, had also reminded him (Anwar) of this recently.
“We will try to streamline this Allah issue to be brought to the Conference of Rulers, and any decision must not be exploited as a political issue, this is His Royal Highness’ order.
“So, do not politicise the Allah issue because the rulers will be streamlining the matter based on proposals by the federal government.
“What is Muhyiddin (Yassin) saying? Still using the Allah issue... they are openly defying the rulers," Bernama quotes Anwar as saying at the Paroi constituency Jelajah Perpaduan ceramah in Taman Tuanku Jaafar last night.
Support for Harapan-BN alliance at its best - Rafizi
8.30am: Shah Alam - The voters’ support for Pakatan Harapan and BN alliance in Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, and Penang is currently at its best, claims PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli.
According to a Bernama report, he says the conclusion was derived based on information from various sources as well as reports from the field that he received, thus refuting the claims that the three Harapan-administered states will fall after the state elections as announced by Perikatan Nasional.
"I dare say that the collapse of the government after the state polls as bandied by the PN leadership will not happen because the reports we have received showed the opposite," Rafizi said while campaigning during the Jelajah Perpaduan ceramah at Sungai Kandis last night.
Umno deputy chief ill, urges supporters to continue campaign
8am: Rantau, Negeri Sembilan - BN’s Rantau candidate Mohamad Hasan is taking a break from campaigning after coming down with the flu.
“(I’m having) a bad cough and a fever. The doctor told me not to go out because it could spread. For the next two, three days, the doctor has asked me to rest,” he says.
Speaking between sniffles in a video last night but still wearing his blue BN shirt, Mohamad apologises to his supporters for being unable to meet them and urged party workers to keep campaigning in his absence.
On Sunday, the Association of Private Hospitals Malaysia confirmed reports that many hospitals are reaching capacity due to the spread of the influenza virus and a shortage of nurses. This has reportedly caused delays in admissions.
