Elections not to dictate voter’s religious beliefs: Saifuddin Nasution

He says it is platform for parties to explain how they would run country, what they would do for people should they win

NIBONG TEBAL – Elections are not the venue for certain parties to determine voters’ religious beliefs, but should instead be a platform for political parties to explain their plans and agenda for the people should they emerge victorious, Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) secretary general Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said.

Should any party attempt to do so, they should not be supported in any campaign, he added.

“Election campaigning means both parties go up against each other with their policies, plans, agenda when they get the right to administrate and what are their efforts to help the people.

“Elections are not the venue for us to say ‘Choose us and it means you’re a Muslim and if you don’t, you’re not our kin’. You can’t do that. This isn’t about determining voter’s beliefs but about how we run the country,” he said during a speech at the first Unity Talk programme for the Sg Bakap by-election at Taman Widuri, Sg Jawi here tonight.

Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu, Amanah strategic director Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad, Umno supreme council member Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir and Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate for the Sg Bakap by-election Dr Joohari Ariffin were also present at the talk.

Saifuddin Nasution also said that Sg Bakap residents were lucky to have a candidate with excellent credentials.

“You need to have strong and trustworthy leadership skills to be a state leader, so it’s good to elect Joohari as your representative here in Sg Bakap. 

“… insya-Allah there’ll be a lot of advantages if Sg Bakap voters elect the unity government candidate as there are many executive councillors in the state government who can help out, along with those at the federal level,” he added.

Meanwhile, Mohamad urged “old friends” from Barisan Nasional (BN) to support the unity government candidate to ensure that victory will be theirs.

“I was also with BN previously. BN works hard, if everyone votes our candidate from the unity government, I’m convinced we can win even if our rivals play up racial issues,” he said.

PH candidate Joohari is going against Perikatan Nasional’s (PN) Abidin Ismail in a straight fight, with polling day set for July 6. – June 23, 2024
