TG PIAI POLLS | Its a sin not to fulfil promises, said BN's candidate for the Tanjung Piai by-election Wee Jeck Seng.
"I have served here for 10 years before, I have done many programmes, welfare, education and so on.
"I guarantee (that I will fulfil my promises) but I don't know about Harapan. I don't know what they promised but when they can't deliver, they blame us (BN).
"If we make promises we fulfil them if we don't, its a sin," he said at the Pontian Umno headquarters today.
Wee, who was Tanjung Piai MP until he was ousted in the general election last year, is one of six candidates vying for the seat in a by-election this time around.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who was present, said Wee had pledged to be the best candidate.
"InsyaAllah (God willing)," added Zahid to which Umno and PAS members who were present chorused, "Alhamdulillah (Praise God)."
Zahid said that Wee was colour-blind to race and would serve all his constituents.
In the run-up to nomination day today, there was heavy lobbying for Umno to contest the seat with additional support from PAS to win the by-election.
However, BN ultimately decided to stick with Wee. This, however, prompted PAS ally Berjasa to contest the seat instead.
Also contesting are Bersatu, Gerakan and two independents.
Polling day for Tanjung Piai is Nov 16.

The most, most important promise an elected official makes is to serve with integrity. Because THAT is totally under the control of the individual.
ReplyDeleteOther things may be subject to local and world economic factors, and all kinds of external factors , but integrity comes from the person himself.
MCA failed that miserably, and continues to fail because of its inability to own up to its long years of such failures.
Remember, too, to serve with INTEGRITY when the gov has just changed, takes time
ReplyDeleteEspecially many of the gov operational machineries r still needed HARD pushes to work more diligently, effectively & efficiently! These DEE have many challenges when moles r abundant to hijack the changing efforts.
When 90% of the gov operating forces r so used to leniency, tidak-apaism, abang-adikism, corrupted manna allowed by their god etc etc, the new gov has a formidable task.
The tasks r many & yet the demands for instant gratifications & changes r overwhelming too!
Mamak is sopo stubborn. But his time is almost up & many within PH wouldn't allow him to have his old& own ways! This is despite the oft-claimed he puppeteers the PH administration.
Outsiders looking him, never see the whole pictures. Just think for a minute, WHY now mamak sound so TAME?
Manmanlai wants to do so much that he forgets the timeframe & the mentality of the melayu at large. The worst part is he likes to showoff & thus trying hard to please everyone & to make middle path decisions which r both r hindrances to good & right administrative processes.
Gov can't please everyone & right decision is no nice decision. (Mamak knows these through & through).
How many mfers, out there, think u can do better before u shoot?
