GERAKAN Tanah Air (GTA) will be focusing on convincing young and new voters about the current political situation in the country in facing the upcoming general election.

Its founding chairman, Dr Mahathir Mohamad, said this was because this group of voters might not be used to the situation and, therefore, needed clarification on it.

“They (the GTA election machinery) will try to convince them that Pejuang this time is the fighter that will fight for the original struggle of Bersatu,” he said at a press conference after meeting the Pejuang and GTA election machinery in Langkawi today.

“Secondly, we want to focus on the automatic as well as young voters. 

“We have found that they (young voters) will only be following their parents’ decision when voting.”

The former prime minister also said if it was true that there was a case against former attorney-general Tommy Thomas over the allegations in his book, ‘My Story: Justice in the Wilderness’, any action taken should be based on the law.

On October 9, the cabinet agreed to form a special task force to conduct a preliminary investigation before the next course of action could be taken with regard to the claims made by Thomas in his book. – Bernama, October 18, 2022.
