MELAKA – Campaigning for the Melaka election should be done in moderation, avoiding aggressive politics, egoism, or acts of challenging one another, said Ketereh Umno chief Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

He said the campaign should instead focus on getting the people to know the candidates who have been put forward, without having to attack or accuse one another.

“There are ethics in politics. If you ask me about the campaign in the Melaka polls, in the current situation, aggressive politics or challenging one another is less relevant,” he said during the Agenda Massa live interview last night.

Instead, he said, it should highlight politics that emphasise wisdom, tact, diplomacy and the ability to sit down and negotiate.

Annuar, who is also the minister of communications and multimedia, was commenting on the matter when asked about campaigning for the state election, which have apparently ignored the Malaysian Family concept, with contesting coalitions attacking one another. – Bernama, November 14, 2021
