Your vote could stamp out politics of hate, Nurul Izzah tells Penang

[superadmin]

BUTTERWORTH – Reflecting concerns of low voter turnout in the upcoming state polls, Penang PKR chief Nurul Izzah Anwar has called on all registered voters numbering 1.4 million to come out in droves to cast their ballots on August 12.

She said it is important to send a message by voting that people will not stand for the politics of hatred.

She said that everywhere in the world, opportunists wield webs of lies and slander, as it is easier to do so than to campaign based on the premise of truth.

“After all, the truth hurts at times…but it is necessary to ensure that the people know what they need to move progressively forward,” said the former Permatang Pauh MP.

She was addressing the audience at the launching of the Penang Pakatan Harapan-Barisan Nasional unity 16-point manifesto at the Penang International Convention Centre here last night.

She said that a low turnout is not productive for a state aiming to showcase the achievements of the PH government at the state level.
