Kuala Besut: BN menang, Agenda 16:16 gagal
About sabahdaily
A rural heartland where 98 per cent of its 17,000 odd voters are Malays, Kuala Besut is a traditional stronghold of BN.
ReplyDeleteStill, BN is leaving no stones unturned to secure a bigger win in the state seat that fell vacant after the BN incumbent passed away weeks after the general election in May.
ReplyDeleteKhairy Jamalluddin, Malaysia's Youth and Sports Minister, said: "We are putting in a lot of effort to make sure we win big because a lot depends on this by-election in the state assembly. As well as an indicator, this is the first by-election since the general election. It's very important that we score a big victory here."
ReplyDeleteIndeed, losing is not an option -- that is what BN leaders are telling voters.
ReplyDeleteBN currently controls 17 seats in the 32-seat state assembly. If PAS wins, it will result in a hung assembly with both sides having 16 seats.
ReplyDeleteShahrizat Abdul Jalil, the chief of the women's wing in UMNO, said: "It will do nobody any good to have a hung assembly. We are telling the voters this is not what we want. We want a strong government.
ReplyDelete"You know, like in a family -- if the parents are strong and healthy, they can look after the family very well; it's the same with government."
ReplyDeleteMs Shahrizat, like other BN leaders, have been visiting Ramadan bazaars in Besut to greet voters.As this is the fasting month Ramadan when Muslims traditionally exercise restraint and respect for one another, the by-election campaign has been relatively calm -- free from personal attacks and mud slinging. Candidates and their supporters are making use of the opportunity to break fast and pray with voters in a bid to get close to them.
ReplyDeleteSome voters are unfazed by the prospect of a first hung assembly in history, which may trigger a state-wide election.
ReplyDeleteOne voter said: "I feel that voters should not be afraid of a hung assembly. What's important is that projects continue. It's like a new experience."
ReplyDeleteAzlan Yusof, the PAS candidate for Kuala Besut, said: "I am confident that people will vote for PAS to achieve 16-16."PAS has thrown down the gauntlet, challenging voters to make history on Wednesday to return the state to a more conservative Islamic rule.
ReplyDeleteDatuk Seri Musa Haji Aman said Barisan Nasional’s victory at the Kuala Besut by-election clearly showed that the people have confidence in the ruling coalition.
ReplyDeleteThe Chief Minister who is also Sabah BN chief said the voters in Kuala Besut have made a wise decision by continuing to support the BN.
ReplyDelete“I believe the people realise the importance of giving support to BN so that it will continue to govern the country,” he said when presenting Hari Raya goodies to security forces at Menara Tun Mustapha here yesterday. The goodies were contributed by various government agencies as well as Bakisa.
ReplyDeleteTengku Zaihan Chee Ku Abdul Rahman retained the Kuala Besut state seat for BN with a bigger majority this time around. He garnered 8,288 votes while Endot @ Azlan Yusof of PAS obtained 5,696 votes.
ReplyDeleteKemenangan calon Barisan Nasional (BN) Tengku Zaihan Che Ku Abdul Rahman dalam Pilihan Raya Kecil (PRK) Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN) Kuala Besut membuktikan keyakinan rakyat kepada barisan kepemimpinan parti itu.

ReplyDeleteMengulas tentang sumbangan UMNO negeri dalam PRK tersebut, Sapawi berkata, UMNO Sabah turut menghantar rombongan bagi membantu calon BN di pusat daerah mengundi (PDM) Seberang Barat.
ReplyDeleteBeliau yang juga Ahli Parlimen Sipitang berkata, pendekatan yang dilaksanakan oleh UMNO Sabah ternyata membantu calon BN untuk mencatatkan kemenangan di PDM tersebut dengan majoriti 353 undi.
ReplyDeleteJelasnya, calon BN memperoleh 805 undi bagi kawasan PDM tersebut manakala Pas 452 undi.
"Ini merupakan satu keputusan yang membanggakan kepada jentera UMNO Sabah yang turut sama turun padang. Kami berpuas hati dengan keputusan yang dicapai di kawasan yang dibantu oleh jentera UMNO negeri," katanya yang merupakan Pengarah Kempen UMNO Sabah ke Kuala Besut.
