PAKATAN Harapan will be running a desperate and dirty campaign in the final days leading to the Cameron Highlands by-election on January 26, said Najib Razak.

The former prime minister said Barisan Nasional must be ready to face this and not rest on its laurels. He added support for BN was positive.

“The situation in Cameron Highlands is positive for BN but we can’t take things easily.

“We must keep trying our best and be prepared to face PH’s last-minute attempts to win over voters,” he said during his campaign trail in Kg Keledek in Sg Koyan today.

Today is the fourth and last day of Najib’s visit to Cameron Highlands. In his campaign run, which largely concentrated on the Orang Asli villages, Najib repeatedly reminded them to be aware of PH’s dirty tricks.

“In fact, the night before voting, please keep your identity cards close and secure. Don’t let anyone steal them and vote using your name.

“Sleep with your MyKad even if you don’t sleep with your husbands,” he told Orang Asli voters.

Najib’s warning comes as another Umno leader accused PH of wanting to prevent Orang Asli voters from casting their ballots on polling day.

Umno Supreme Council member Lokman Nor Adam said this was the latest tactic by the ruling coalition to win the Cameron Highlands by-election.

The plan, Lokman alleged, was uncovered recently by BN “sources” and would see certain “individuals” attempt to buy identity cards from about 2,000 Orang Asli voters in the constituency.

“Without the ICs, these people will not be able to vote. But we have detected this plan and we are going to have agents on standby to catch them in the act,” Lokman told reporters at a BN campaign stop in Kg Keledek, Jelai.

The by-election will see a four-cornered fight involving PH’s M. Manogaran, BN’s Orang Asli candidate Ramli Mohd Nor and two independents. – January 19, 2019.

  • Najib, Lobakman are all talking from their experiences...
    Not only that.. see how blatantly they spread lies.. knowing very well PH has and never will resort to such illegal activities.
    This is a sign of desperation because there are a lot at stake in this by election...if BN loses, it is good bye to the party.

    BN & PAS are now worried because with the AGs Chambers filing the case in support of the Orang Asli and against the Pas Government, it shows that the PH government is serious in looking after the welfare of the OA.. They are worried if this message filters down to OA in Cameron Highlands.

    People in Cameron Highlands must surely see the tactics and ploy used by BN. If not it is time for the PH lobbyists must start educating the people of Cameron Highlands on what PH can do... state the example of the plight of the OA in Kelantan how their rights have been violated and what PH is doing to safeguarding their interests..
    Explain to the people what BN & Pas is all about..

  • They are really painting a very bad picture of the orang asli. They are insinuating that the orang asli are so stupid they will sell their IC or will believe them that people will come into their house just to steal their ICs. Come on..the orang asli are not gullible..they have brains they know how to think, they know whats right and whats wrong, whats lies and whats truth. Dont talk down to them like they are uneducated ignorant people.

  • What Najib is indirectly saying is "What happened during my time, don't let it happen again."
