KLUANG: All candidates in the Johor state election will be allowed to use the government’s official media to introduce themselves, Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa said.
He said this was a Cabinet decision so that candidates could be more easily identified.
“We will allow as long as it does not go against the role of official government media channels as they are responsible for conveying information from the government.
“The ones contesting are the parties, nevertheless, the government is also responsible for enlivening the democratic process,” he told reporters after presenting appointment letters to Keluarga Malaysia Central Zone community leaders here last night.
Commenting on activities involving the Keluarga Malaysia Community, especially during the Johor polls, Annuar said political differences would not hinder the goals of establishing the Keluarga Malaysia Community, which he added was to convey information and government policies as well as foster unity among the local community. -Bernama
