State polls: Rise up and support unity govt, Zahid urges T'ganu folk


KUALA TERENGGANU: The people of Terengganu need to rise and support the unity government in the state election to be held on Aug 12, says Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

The Umno president said this election would be the most appropriate time for the people to express their support for the unity government if they do not want to suffer the same fate as the people in the Opposition-led states.

"We are afraid of what is happening in Kelantan, 33 years of unresolved water problems. For the people of Terengganu, don’t let the Opposition rule (the state) for a second term, one term is enough.

"We know Terengganu is a swing state, sometimes at the top and sometimes at the bottom, We were defeated before, but this time Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Barisan Nasional (BN) will take over Terengganu,” he said.

The Deputy Prime Minister said this when speaking at the "Jelajah Madani” programme and launch of the Terengganu Unity machinery here Friday (July 28).

The government, he said, should also be fair to all the people and cited Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim as an example.

He said the Prime Minister exercised fairness in solving problems, including in the Opposition states, like the water issue in Kelantan.

"We hope the people of Terengganu will rise up and change the state government to a unity government," he said.

Ahmad Zahid also called on the Unity machinery to work together to ensure victory for the PH-BN candidates in the state election.

"We (BN) help them (PH) here. In other states, PH helps BN candidates,” he added.- Bernama
