DUNGUN: Barisan Nasional election director for the Sungai Bakap by-election, Datuk Seri Zambry Abdul Kadir, has expressed confidence in the people’s growing ability to discern the true intentions behind opposition rhetoric aimed at gaining support during electoral campaigns.
He said the Opposition used similar tactics in previous contests, such as the Kuala Kubu Bharu and Pulai by-elections.
"However, the public can evaluate accordingly. Therefore, the crucial factor remains who can provide the best service to them,” he said after officiating at the Dungun Umno division annual general meeting here on Saturday (June 29).
Zambry said strong cooperation between Pakatan Harapan and Barisan Nasional in the ongoing Sungai Bakap by-election campaign would positively influence public perception.
The by-election on July 6 is a straight fight between Pakatan’s Dr Joohari Ariffin and Perikatan’s Abidin Ismail.
The seat fell vacant following the death of its assemblyman, Nor Zamri Latiff of PAS, on May 24 due to stomach inflammation.
