By-elections gift from God, says Umno leader

THE by-elections in Selangor are a gift from god and the right ground for Barisan Nasional to test its machinery and campaign before the 15th general election, said Umno leaders.

“Do you know why we are having this by-election?” Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa asked more than 1,000 Selangor Umno members at the election centre on Jalan Siswi Kanan for the Sg Kandis by-election.

“Because god wants to test Selangor. Before this (Sg Kandis) has begun its campaign, there will be another one in Balakong. Maybe God will decide to have more by-elections,” Annuar told the more than 1,000 Selangor Umno members who had turned up its election centre on Jalan Siswi Kanan.

“We don’t know where the next one will be. Maybe its Langkawi or maybe it’s Bera. Let’s just hope it’s not in Ketereh,” the Ketereh MP said.

The Langkawi federal seat is held by 93-year-old Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad while Bera is held by Umno vice-president Ismail Sabri, who was seated on the stage next to deputy president Mohamad Hassan and Sg Kandis candidate Lokman Noor Adam.

The Sg Kandis state seat fell vacant after Shuhaimie Shafiei died on July 2 from cancer while a day before nomination for Sg Kandis, Balakong assemblyman Eddie Ng died from a car accident.

Mohamad also predicted more by-elections ahead.

“I think there’s at least one more in Selangor,” said the former Negri Sembilan menteri besar.

“Let’s use these by-elections as a training ground before GE15.”

He said BN is like a clean sheet now, as it is no longer in government.

“It’s up to them (Pakatan Harapan) to solve the 1MDB, Felda, cost of living and GST issues. It’s not our problem any more. We are free now that we are on the other side.”

He mocked the new education minister for focusing on shoes instead of education policies.

“They used to be so good at criticising the government. But now that they are on the other side, they have a minister who instead of formulating polices with his head, he’s thinking with his feet,” referring to Maszlee Malik’s suggestion to allow schoolchildren to use black shoes instead of white.

Annuar said Umno began in 1946 as a party without influence, money or power. And while it no longer has any power now, its struggle for race, religion and country was still relevant.

“But there are those who only want to be friends when we are in power. As such, this is a test for us all,” said the fiery Kelantanese.

He said victory in Sg Kandis was not important as more fundamental to the party is how it fights in the days ahead. – July 24, 2018.

  • How can the death and hoping for more death of an elected MP been categorised as gift form god, isnt that purely bad faith. Is this the kind of arguing statements and topics that you want to raise and highlight in wanting to be a sound opposition. Go no further as theres totally no substance in it.

  • What a really small minded retard talking!!!! It is out of taste and using Almighty in vain to con simple folks in thinking that a bastardised Umno party is blessed. Your bad intentions and isinuation for a Langkawi by- elections are toatlly devoid of manners and of low pariah class characteristics. It is clearly you forgotten that Mahatir at such age was abled to win the GE14. This in particular is a testimonial and definitely with the blessing of divine grace and allowing him to achieve such a success and providence of an opportunity to make a final amends to rectify and redeem all his wrongs. His days on this earthly world is define by the Almighty and not by an imbecile like you on a wsih list. Your foul mouth will be the cause of your own grievances and bad befallings. Do not try hard to be a smart hero when there is no such capabilities in you. A shameful guy who was licking Mahatir butts in those days and quoting Shakspeare in the closing speech in the assembly to impress without knowing whats it is all about. A thorough pedestrian.

  • The result of these two by-elections will prove to BN/umno once and for all that they are totally rejected by the rakyat. Henceforth, they should accept that the rakyat have abandoned them and shut up on racial and religious subjects.

  • How insensitive! Is he saying God killed these two well respected people for the benefit of UMNO? How arrogant! My God is compassionate and just but the Devil tempts. Illness can affect anyone and in all fairness, the rep should not have stood for election in view of his advanced cancer. The Balakong situation was caused by incompetence on the part of the road maintenance department.

  • Allah is all knowing already and He already knows who will win these by-election. Umno secretary-general Annuar Musa had better wake up to UMNO's past lies and sins which will be severely tested in these by-elections.
