News reports from the ground.
Rafizi takes jab at Sanusi, pities PN’s Gurun candidate
8.45am: Gurun, Kedah - PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli openly admits that Perikatan Nasional has the upper hand in the state polls as it has “clowns” in the likes of Kedah caretaker menteri besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor.
“We are fighting against Sanusi, who is PN’s biggest weapon. Why? Because he is a clown. We don’t have such clowns (in PKR). Whoever can crack stupid jokes, can win votes.
“That’s why when Sanusi campaigns, he’s making stupid jokes every day,” he said during a Jelajah Madani ceramah in Gurun last night.
The economy minister also “takes pity” on PN’s Gurun candidate Baddrol Bakhtiar, saying the latter does not have what it takes to be a state assemblyperson.
“To be the people’s representative, you must hone many skills and be good with words, not just reading texts. When asked about your manifesto, don’t just say it’s a surprise.”
