SEREMBAN – PAS has called on all voters to come out in full force on polling day, assuring them of a change in federal leadership of Perikatan Nasional wins in all six states. 

Party president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang said he was concerned after learning that there were a number of voters who were reluctant to go out and vote on August 12. 

“It has come to my knowledge that many, especially the Malays, are considering not to vote. Based on data from past elections, the voter turnout among other races was about 90%.

“However, the turnout among Malay voters would usually be about 70%,” he said at a ceramah here, last night. 

He reminded the Malays that voting was a form of “political power” and one should not waste it. 

“It is important for Muslims and non-Muslims who are not extreme to support PN and make a change. 

“One must realise that although Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional form the federal government, they are always at odds with each other,” he said. – The Vibes, August 7, 2023
