KUALA LUMPUR – Barisan Nasional (BN) has filed election petitions for three parliamentary seats, including the Marang constituency held by PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang, over allegations of vote buying.
This was revealed via a media invitation issued by the Umno headquarters for a press conference on the matter to be held tomorrow afternoon.
The invitation indicated that the press conference will be chaired by Terengganu Umno liaison chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Said, who will be joined by a team of lawyers to provide an update on the three election petitions by BN.
It noted that the petitions have been filed by BN candidates in the 15th general election (GE15) who contested in the Marang, Kemaman, and Kuala Terengganu constituencies – all of which are in Terengganu.

PETALING JAYA: The recent statement by Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that Najib Razak was a victim of political persecution and selective prosecution and that he deserves a fair trial, will lead to an erosion of public trust in the judiciary, says Muda.
The party’s secretary-general, Amir Abd Hadi, said such “irresponsible” statements by the deputy prime minister could lead to negative perceptions of the unity government.
In his presidential speech during the general assembly, Zahid acknowledged Najib’s role as one of the main factors for Umno and Barisan Nasional (BN) to receive growing support from the people after the coalition’s downfall in the 2018 polls.

KUALA LUMPUR: A motion not to have any contest for the posts of Umno president and deputy president has been passed at the party’s general assembly here.
The motion was proposed yesterday to ensure the two incumbents will not be challenged at the upcoming Umno elections, which must be held by May 19.
It had been reported that Umno was split on whether a contest for the top two posts should be held, with some saying it risks dividing the party, and others arguing that it would allow president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi and his deputy, Mohamad Hasan to prove that they have the support of the grassroots.

Fair Play: Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, be aware of what you said and wished for. The man is very capable of twisting everything you said to his advantage and as a justification for past performance.
The rakyat would hold you to the highest standard of accountability and the restoration of justice and fairness to all Malaysians.
Just focus on your promise to the rakyat about the eradication of corruption in the system especially past acts committed many, many years ago and in recent times too in relation to the monumental pilferage of the nation’s wealth under the guise of redistribution to the majority poor and needy.
Just imagine how wealthy the nation would be today if the system was clean and politicians were held accountable for their actions since independence.
Look no further than the little red dot south of the border as a benchmark.

A delegation of Islamic figures and scholars visited China's Xinjiang region and witnessed firsthand the region's developments and stability, which proved again some media's lies about the region cannot cover up the truth and the practices of using Xinjiang topics to smear China are doomed to fail, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a press conference on Friday.
On the same day, the regional government of Xinjiang also held a press conference and offered more detailed information on the visit of the delegation to more than 30 Chinese and foreign media.
Led by Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, chairman of The World Muslim Communities Council from the UAE, a delegation including more than 30 Islamic figures and scholars from 14 countries visited Northwest China's Xinjiang region starting on January 8. They went to mosques, the Xinjiang Islamic Institute, bazaars and many other places to communicate with local residents and religious groups in Urumqi, Altay and Kashi to get a better understanding of the region's development and protection of religious freedom.

KUALA LUMPUR – Pejuang today announced its withdrawal from the Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) coalition to focus on strengthening the party.
Its president Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir said the decision was made after taking into account the views of delegates in the second general assembly of Pejuang today following the party’s poor performance in the last 15th general election (GE15).
“Actually I have informed the GTA supreme council meeting on December 6 last year that there was a sentiment among Pejuang members for the party to withdraw from GTA.
“However, I leave a little caveat that I want to wait for the official decision from the party’s general assembly that concluded today,” he told a press conference here today.
In GE15, Pejuang, established by former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, failed to win any contested parliamentary seats.

PARTI Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS) and the Perikatan Nasional (PN) were warned by Economy Minister and Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) Deputy President Rafizi Ramli that their attempts to seize power in Selangor will fail while he intervened during the State of Selangor’s Election Convention’s launch at the Ideal Convention Center (IDCC) in Shah Alam.
Rafizi claimed that the PAS and PN believe they are riding high on the so-called “green wave” and that they will soon seize control of Malaysia’s richest state.
“PAS feels that the party is so great that the ‘current’ green wave is now undermining Selangor’s position (adding pressure on Pakatan Harapan) to the point that PAS feels capable of seizing the state from the PH government.”

Don’t worry, PAS’ green wave merely ripple in small cup: Rafizi |

SHAH ALAM – The political “green wave” witnessed in northern and east coast states during the recent general election will be short-lived, Rafizi Ramli said today when expressing his confidence that Pakatan Harapan (PH) will retain Selangor “in style” when the state enters polling this year.
Speaking at the Selangor PKR election convention today, the party deputy president said while he acknowledged the concerns shared by certain members over the inroads made by PAS, this is something that they should not be worried about.
“Based on my experience in Pandan, and if we look at social media, these PAS people’s confidence level is even higher than the French football team.
“They don’t have that much skill and strength, but the way they conduct themselves is as though they will take over Malaysia.

ersatu, PAS lambast UMNO for its ‘puppy love, passionate love’ towards DAP |

UMNO’s sudden emotional attachment to DAP which probably sprouts from being ‘indebted’ to sacrifices made by the latter for the dominant party in Barisan Nasional (BN) to earn a lifeline vis-à-vis the unity government has irked the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition.
As if an episode of a soap opera, Opposition leader Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin berated UMNO deputy president Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan for telling the untruth whereby he claimed that DAP is better than PAS which is nothing more than to solidify the party’s position in the unity government.
“A day after the 15th General Election (GE15) results, Mohamad came to my house,” the PN secretary-general commenced his story line.
