TAIPING: Voters in the three by-elections for Bukit Gantang, Bukit Selambau and Batang Ai have been urged to choose wisely to ensure continuous development in their constituencies.
Umno deputy president Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin said the people should put their trust in Barisan Nasional in view of the changes and expected reforms in the Government.
“There will be a change of leadership in the Government and the party, so we want to tell the people that this is a team that means business,” he told reporters at the Taiping Municipal Hall after the close of nominations for the Bukit Gantang by-election yesterday.
Muhyiddin will head the Barisan Nasional machinery for all three by-elections to be held simultaneously on April 7.
He also urged all Barisan workers to remain calm and not respond to any provocation by the opposition parties.
This is the time to get close to voters to explain about Barisan’s plans, he said.
On Bukit Gantang, Muhyiddin said PKR would try to use sympathy tactics by claiming that the opposition had been deprived of the state by Barisan.
However, he was confident that voters would not be easily swayed as Barisan was the legitimate state government endorsed by the Sultan of Perak.
“There is no reason for voters to be sympathetic towards them. During the campaign period, we will explain the situation to the voters.”
