BATU KURAU – Acceptable candidates with a clean background will be the catalyst in determining the success of Perikatan Nasional (PN) in the general election, especially in northern Perak.
PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin said the electorate was sick and tired of “unhealthy” and “dirty” politics, believing this would lead voters to choose PN in the Bukit Gantang, Larut, Bagan Serai, and Parit Buntar parliamentary seats.
“We have strategies in ensuring the momentum is on our side. We want to make sure that when the electorate vote in PN, they get clean leaders who are not self-centred and instead are ready to serve the people.
“We were part of the government once. We know what can be done and what cannot. In fact, our manifesto is also different, more comprehensive and viable,” he said after a visit to the coalition’s Bukit Bertam district polling centre here today.
Meanwhile, Hamzah, who is also caretaker home minister, said police will investigate several election offences committed in the run-up to the polls, including the destruction of campaign materials such as flags and posters.
“This has become a common thing during an election. We have the authorities. I leave it to the security forces to investigate,” he said. – Bernama, November 10, 2022
