“Don’t vote for hypocrites,” says Dr Akmal amid calls from DAP against sabotage in KKB

 

UMNO Youth leader Dr Muhammad Akmal Saleh is once again the outspoken figure as he tells voters in the Kuala Kubu Bharu by-elections not to vote for a “hypocritical leader”.

“If you want to choose a leader, don’t choose a hypocritical leader,” said Dr Akmal.

“The result of this by-election is not capable of changing the position of the state or central government, but it will give a clear message from the people to all leaders.”

Earlier, he wished good luck to all candidates for the Kuala Kubu Bharu state assembly (DUN) by-election.

“May God make all matters of this PRK easy,” he said.

Meanwhile, Bangi MP Syahredzan Johan has urged coalition component parties in the unity government not to sabotage Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate Pang Sock Tao.

He was speaking about the component parties in the unity government who refused to take to the ground to help PH. So far, MCA and MIC are the parties in the Barisan Nasional (BN) that have said they will not campaign for the DAP in KKB.

Syahredzan Johan said his side (PH) would welcome it if the coalition parties in Madani’s government could participate in helping Pang who represents the DAP party, campaign for 13 days.

“I think the important thing is that we run our campaign…like the Secretary General of the DAP party (Anthony Loke Siew Fook) said, this by-election is to persuade voters instead of persuading political parties.

“If those who want to help the campaign, we welcome them, those who don’t want to come down, that’s their position.

“…we just hope that we don’t end up campaigning for the opponent or sabotage or trying to strain the unity government…we don’t want that.

“If you don’t want to campaign, that’s fine, we respect it, but don’t provoke and so on,” he said to local news portals during his rounds at KKB.

The Kuala Kubu Bharu DUN by-election will see a four-cornered clash including an independent candidate.

The other three candidates are Khairul Azhari Saut from Perikatan Nasional (PN) and Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) candidate, Hafizah Zainuddin and Nyau Ke Xin (Independent). – Focus Malaysia
