A MANIFESTO will be drafted soon for Sabah and Sarawak folk, opposition Pakatan Harapan coalition chairman Dr Mahathir Mohamad said.

Members of the PH presidential council agreed that the two states deserve special focus.

“We will create a manifesto exclusively for Sabah and Sarawak and we will discuss this in our presidential meeting on August 24,” he said to the media at Parliament today.

PH also launched a “pink brochure” on the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.

The brochure, Skandal Rompakan Terbesar Dunia (World’s biggest robbery scandal), will be handed out during PH election campaigns and programmes nationwide.

It highlights in point forms the impact of the 1MDB scandal on the country and Malaysians.

At the same press conference, Dr Mahathir said a new logo which includes the full name of Pakatan Harapan has been submitted to the Registrar of Society (RoS) for approval.

“We have yet to get any respond. We need it fast because we are going to use it on our banners and flags and we need to have it printed in preparation for the general election.”

PH has also set up its state office in Penang, Johor and Selangor. The other states will follow within two weeks from today.

The chairmen of the state PH are Lim Guan Eng (Penang); Mohamed Azmin Ali (Selangor); and Muhyiddin Yassin (Johor). – August 10, 2017.

  • i also think that voter turn out will be low, and that BN will win, but i don't it will get the much coveted 2/3 majority ....

    I think voter turn out will be low because those who have to travel or put in some extra effort to vote, like queue or find parking, won't be able to find the motivation to vote....

    I think BN won't get the two thirds majority, because those who will vote for BN do so out of loyalty, and loyalty must be returned with patronage, and patronage is costly, and BN might not be able to afford to dish out the sort of patronage to give it a two thirds majority, because i don't think BN has that much money in its coffers ....

    I think BN will win, simply because the opposition is simply unable to whip up the excitement necessary to win .... all the things that the opposition promises , like the abolishment of toll collection , or the scraping of the GST or making anwar the prime minister, lies in the future, and you have to really be a person of weight for people to believe in what you promise if what you promise lies in the future. The opposition does not offer anything in the here and now, and it does not have the sort of leader whose word has the weight to make people believe that it will keep its promise in the future. I thought Dr. Mahathir could have been the leader for the opposition that the the people would have trusted to deliver the promise that the opposition makes, but i think his about turn in joining forces with the opposition after 20 something years of railing against them, and also his age, has reduced the weight his words used to carry... .
