PAKATAN Harapan’s (PH) candidate for Segambut, Hannah Yeoh, tonight made one final plea to Barisan Nasional and PAS supporters to give change a chance, telling them they could vote the opposition out in the next election if they were unhappy.
“I say to you Umno, MCA, MIC, Gerakan and MyPPP members, as well as PAS members, to give us only five years, if we are not good, you vote your leaders in again,” said the former Selangor state assembly speaker at her final ceramah in Segambut before campaigning ended at midnight.
“That is your right, do not allow your leaders who have made money out of the system to continue to lie to you, to continue to tell you that they give you hope, that is a false hope.”
She said they should vote without fear as their leaders could never know whom they had voted for.
“Vote for PH, give it a try. You have not tasted it, you don’t know but for the rest of us who have tasted it, it’s good, I tell you, it is good,” the incumbent Subang Jaya assemblyman from DAP said.
The 39-year-old politician also paid tribute to senior leaders of the opposition, namely Dr Mahathir Mohamad and his wife, Dr Siti Hasmah Mohamad Ali, Anwar Ibrahim, Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and Lim Kit Siang for putting aside their differences to work together for the sake of the nation.
“(When he was) prime minister, nations around Malaysia glorified Malaysia but today they cut his face out of billboards, they say all nasty things to him and they reduce him to nothing.
“If you were Dr Mahathir, would you do it? But I believe deep down in this man’s heart, there is a great love for his nation. He’s not willing to go to the grave seeing this nation torn apart,” she said.
She also thanked Anwar and Dr Wan Azizah for putting aside their personal feelings and move on for the nation.
She also said that Lim had to travel across the nation to explain to party veterans and grassroots the DAP’s support for Dr Mahathir, whom the party had opposed in the past.
“The next person is from the family of the late Tok Guru Nik Aziz, for children to be in different parties and to face each other as opponents.
“And for Nik Omar to step forward now… for that family to do that on behalf of all Malaysians. I say thank you.” – May 8, 2018.
