ANWAR FACES UP TO REALITY – WHILE ‘STUCK IN TIME WARP’ MAHATHIR KEEPS UP THE LIES, REFUSES TO PUNISH PERAK MB – EVEN AS TANJUNG PIAI VOTERS, A BAROMETER FOR THE REST OF NATION, PREPARE TO KICK OUT ‘UNTRUSTWORTHY’ DR M & HIS BUNGLING BERSATU PRIBUMI PARTY

PKR president Anwar Ibrahim admits that Pakatan Harapan faces a trust deficit with Tanjung Piai voters, calling for the pact to work harder to ensure victory in the November 16 by-election.

He said the feedback from a briefing by state leaders indicated that voters wanted to teach the ruling pact a lesson for not delivering on its electoral promises.

“I was told the people were divided on our government. There are some who are impatient because we have not delivered as promised and want to use this by-election to send a message to the government.

“We know the contest is tight. Even in the last general election, our margin of victory was small.

“We need to work hard to win again here,” he said while campaigning in Pontian today.

Anwar also said that the PH government inherited a problematic economy from Barisan Nasional, making it difficult for them to do more for the people.

However, he admitted that this should not be used as an excuse for PH’s failure to deliver for the people.

“We did inherit a bad economy but the people here are not interested in listening to this story.

“We are the government now so we will have to sort out their problems,” said the Port Dickson MP, adding that the coalition was aware of the people’s problems and urged the voters to continue to support and give them support to solve the issues.

“So please don’t give your vote away to the opposition. We will work hard to solve all your problems,” he said.

The Tanjung Piai parliamentary by-election on November 16 is seeing a six-horse race between Karmaine Saidini (PH), Wee Jeck Seng (Barisan Nasional), Wendy Subramaniam (Gerakan), Dr Badhrulhisham Abdul Aziz (Barisan Jemaah Islamiah) and two independent candidates: tuition centre founder Dr Ang Chuan Lock and businesswoman Faridah Aryani Abd Ghaffar.

No action against Perak MB, he was simply explaining his role, says Dr Mahathir

how could Mahathir ever take disciplinary action against his sole ADUN in Perak? 

BERSATU PRIBUMI will not take any disciplinary action against Perak Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu after his controversial remarks against DAP recently.

Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad said Faizal was simply trying to explain to the locals about his duties as a Malay menteri besar and that he was not being controlled by DAP.

“He was surrounded by aggressive men. These men believe that DAP is controlling the country.

“He was trying to explain to them that he is the MB. A Malay MB, and he was not being dictated to by DAP.

“In some situations, you need to explain these to the people,” Dr Mahathir said.

Faizal was caught in a controversy recently after he told a group of villagers in Tg Piai that he was facing a lone battle against DAP in Perak.

The remarks were recorded on video and later shared on social media.

“In Perak, I am fighting a desperate battle alone against ‘puak-puak’ (factions) DAP.

“I want to defend the land of the Malays and our religion. I am doing this slowly,” said the former Umno man in the six-minute video.

Faizal won the Chenderiang seat in the general election last year and is the sole Bersatu PRIBUMI assemblyman in Perak.

He later clarified his statement saying that his speech was taken out of context.

Dr Mahathir was also asked to comment on Perak PKR chief Farhash Wafa Salvador Rizal Mubarak’s comment that Faizal is not fit to be the Perak MB.

“There is no problem (among the parties in Perak). They are not fighting or quarrelling,” he said.

The Tg Piai parliamentary seat became vacant after its incumbent Md Farid Md Rafik died in September due to a heart failure.

The by-election – set to take place on Saturday – will see a six-way fight between PH, BN, Gerakan, Berjasa and two independents.
