Mahfuz: Najib ‘passed by cheating’

By Rahmah Ghazali, FMT

PAS vice-president Mahfuz Omar has likened Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s win in the recent Hulu Selangor contest to a “school kid passing his exam by cheating”.

In a statement to FMT, the Pokok Sena MP said the ruling coalition should not gloat about such a victory.

Mahfuz said BN’s win did not affect Pakatan Rakyat, especially PKR, since its candidate Zaid Ibrahim garnered more votes than the late Zainal Abidin Ahmad in the 2008 general election.

“Even the ‘vote-buying’ did not have an impact on us,” he said, reiterating an allegation which drew a strong denial from BN.

On Sunday, Zaid lost to BN’s P Kamalanathan by 1,725 votes, despite Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin having set a 6,000 vote-majority target.
