DAP bigwigs come together in bid to help PAS retain seat
(TMI) – PAS roped in its Pakatan Rakyat (PR) partners to organise a dinner last night to meet Chinese voters in the Sungai Limau constituency, which goes to the ballot tomorrow.
Called Super Saturday, the event was attended by top DAP leaders including Lim Kit Siang, Lim Guan Eng, Zairil Khir Johari, as well as PAS’s Datuk Mahfuz Omar, Mohamad Sabu, Dr Hatta Ramli and its candidate Mohd Azam Abdul Samat.
Kit Siang in his speech urged the 1,000 Chinese voters who attended the function to help the Islamic party win with a bigger majority.
“This time, let us create history by securing the seat with a bigger majority through our candidate from PAS Ustaz Azam,“ he said.
Dr Hatta, who is PAS election director, described the event as one of friendship between the PR component parties.
“This is friendship between races in Malaysia. Don’t worry because we have a better future even though there are extremists in Malaysia.
We have PR which will protect the rakyat,” he said.
Guan Eng meanwhile urged Chinese voters in Sungai Limau to choose the PAS candidate because they share the same agenda of fighting graft.
“Let us together reject bribery and GST,” he said, referring to the Goods and Services Tax announced in the 2014 Budget speech on October 25.
